A Look at Crystal, the Programming Language for Humans

I’m honestly more interested in jRuby at this point. I think the coming combination of jRuby with fibers is going to become extremely compelling based on the early numbers that Charles Nutter was seeing. This is approaching BEAM levels of concurrency.

Wow, I disagree.

1) a binary executable of low memory footprint that can be run as a standard systemd service vs THE JVM (gasps of terror)

2) I bet you Crystal STILL beats the pants off jRuby or actually ANYTHING run on the JVM (perf. metrics)

3) I bet you the maintenance costs of the Crystal binary are lower over the course of 5 years, by a large large factor

4) I will bet you the UPTIME of the Crystal binary is higher, by a large large factor
