LOL, you forked many repositories and didn't push any code. You just proved my point. Just people without experience in Crystal comes to ruby related threads to say "Dude, use Crystal". Happy learning <3

Well, firstly that isn't true, and secondly even if it were true it's a good idea to fork repos you use. So, not only are you:

- childish ("LOL", really? This is HN)

- lying (always the sign of a strong argument)

- unable to search Github effectively

You also show bad development practices. Did you not see what happened this week with Colors.js[1]?

> You just proved my point.

Quite the opposite.

Where is your repo showing your experience in Crystal? Or Ruby for that matter. Money where mouth is time, do you even have a single commit to a project in either language?

There is nothing in the text about Crystal. Why should I talk about Crystal?

I don't have too. That's not about Crystal, but about ruby :)

That's not about me and my code, not either about your little unknown rubygems, but the desire from people like to you to recommend Crystal as "drop-in" replacement for ruby, which is not.. Typical "I'm vegan" comment when people are talking about barbecue.

Happy learning <3

If you know nothing about Crystal, and seem unable to provide any evidence that you have anything of note to add about Ruby, then you have no way of knowing if Crystal can be a drop-in replacement for Ruby, and why you’re using quotes around “drop-in” when you’re the only person on the entire page to have used that word is telling.

Mendacious to the last. If you find a way to make a substantive or informed observation then do let me know, otherwise, please save it for your friends on Reddit.
