I really want to see Crystal succeed. I don't really understand why there aren't more languages like it with clean syntax and good type inference.

Right now the only things keeping me from using it for everything are a lack of libraries, and it's sub-par GC.

There is an interesting project about a new GC for crystal written in crystal, see: https://github.com/ysbaddaden/gc
