> Crystal is pretty unstable at the moment (in that it changes often)

This had never been my experience, I have a server written fully in crystal running in production serving millions upon millions of requests on heroku and crystal doesn't break a sweat.

Quite happy with it so far.

stability of the language is their next goal.
