Java does type inference in a number of places and javac is not slow.

Java doesn't do type inference at the level of Crystal. It's not the presence of type inference, it's the fact that almost everything in a Crystal program can be inferred.

javac produces Java bytecode, not LLVM IR.

javac exists since at least 15 years, Crystal "only" 6 years.

Maybe things will get better with time?
