Crystal Programming Language

Out of all the programming languages coming out these days, Crystal is the one I am watching out for. I've never programmed with Ruby, but I have programmed with Python in the past so I really value the focus on programmer friendly syntax that Python taught me. Currently a Golang a programmer and I love the performance plus binary executables!

From my experience so far Crystal feels like a performant language with the wonderful feel of Python. Definitely check this language out if this is the first time you're hearing about it.

Just curious whether you have checked out Nim. I love it coming from Python, curious to know what Crystal offers apart from Nim for Python users.

Compared to Nim, Crystal is more OOP-focused and very similar to Ruby, so if that's your thing, it's worth switching, otherwise probably not.
