It's still in the 0th major version, such changes are expected until 1.0. I indeed wouldn't recommend using Crystal for anything serious until the language stabilizes.

I think this is a good strategy if you want to end up with a good core language with a lot of polish.

Totally agree. If this happened post 1.0 I’d be concerned. But pre 1.0 this is what I’d expect and want. Polish things up because afterward you can’t!
