I tried this awhile back, but the empty template project its compiler can generate to get started compiled to 2 MiB of JavaScript.

Those projects look interesting but does that really confirm the point of being a niche towards web-dev?

Also, a but off-topic but as a Rails user, I find both Lucky & Amber Framework very intriguing, both home pages got me sold directly and gave me the feeling of being Rails + performance.

Kemal seems like Crystals equivalent to Sinatra, which is cool, but doesn’t seem to offer anything other than being performant?
