Crystal is excellent. I just can’t handle the sluggish compilation times. Has that improved?

Nope, but working with fewer/smaller dependencies (like Kemal) it seems more manageable. Also, the feedback from type system is much faster than the full build, so I've noticed I don't need to run the app to test every small change like I do with ruby. There is also an interpreter mode available for testing, but I haven't tried it yet since that currently requires building the language from source. I'm hoping the interpreter will solve that DX issue entirely once it's ready.
