See, when you add "performance" to those properties it piques my interest. I'd love me a high performance language that is sanely typed, allows for metaprogramming, feels like an interpreted language while doing so etc. However the main page says absolutely nothing about performance. I even don't care about compile times.

So what is the performance like?

You can find some benchmarks here: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

With the caveat of course being that benchmarks don't always reflect real world performance.

Also Crystal based web frameworks tested here (key: Cry) same caveat as above. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/

It's at least on par with Go, for solving similar problems, micro benchmarks, etc.
