You can remove the runtime from Crystal and use it as a low level language. Proof.
Ask HN: Is there a simple and minimal language like C but without its footguns?

Pascal, Zig, V and possibly Crystal. Or Das C although arguably that is subset of D.
V isn't anywhere near finish. The closest thing should be Zig. But that is far from finish as well.
Crystal is more like Go than C. But I mean someone wrote a OS [1] using Crystal in her spare time.
Or just plan old Pascal.
