Ruby vs. Crystal Performance

you obviously did not do metaprogramming in Ruby. Try it and you will never look at the "metaprogramming" capabilities of other languages in the same way.

no offence to JS, but JS and a proper programming language are not even the same species.

For real metaprogramming try Clojure. It's another world entirely.

Lisps are far more natural at metaprogramming; Clojure is the most most popular Lisp at the moment.

isn’t clojure like a lisp with extra steps?
