Crystal in Production: Diploid

Thanks. Still wondering what the reason is though - but based on what you said, it seems like POSIX-like APIs being needed may be the reason. Maybe for the concurrency features or other language / library features of Crystal. But then again, Go has concurrency features but works on Windows, and of course Windows has threads anyway, which are usable from C/C++ and other languages.

Here is an installer waiting for Crystal support on Windows https://github.com/faustinoaq/crystal-windows-installer :)

It's simply a lack of manpower to port to the windows APIs. There's a partial windows port, but it needs a lot of work before it's merged into master.
