A comment on Ruby vs. Crystal Performance.

Huge ruby ran here. Ruby on Rails has been my day job for a decade, and it pays the bills well enough. Crystal has always been a curiosity to me, but I have never been as productive in any other language or framework as I have been with Rails. I dont' care if you're language is "ruby-like" or "go fast" - if I'm not as productive with it as I am with Ruby, I'm not gonna touch it.

Get back to me when there is Crystal on Rails.

I'm sure that it's nowhere near as productive as Rails, but this framework is probably best positioned to be the Rails of Crystal, in case you haven't seen it:

Does it also have a massive community and thousands of libraries(rubygems) for almost every possible thing you can possibly think of?

It's a significantly younger language than Ruby, so no, the ecosystem is not as diverse (yet). It is quite populated though - for a taste you can browse at sites like https://crystalshards.xyz/ or https://shards.info/.
