What Crystal is for Ruby devs, Nim is for Python devs, I guess.

In theory yes, in practice it's not that clear.

You make a fast Rails in Crystal and a large percentage of Ruby community will jump in. In Python you can't do that, the community is fragmented. And you have already Julia..

In some ways, yes. But in practice Crystal is far closer to Ruby than Nim is to Python.
