Are there any web frameworks for Crystal?
You have quite a few options: https://github.com/veelenga/awesome-crystal#web-frameworks take your pick :P. Each has their pros and cons.
-
Crystal Lang 1.0 Release
There are also other options: https://github.com/veelenga/awesome-crystal#web-frameworks.
https://athenaframework.org is pretty unique. It's one of the more flexible frameworks IMO. It comes from a Symfony/Spring style framework.

It also gives you access to Babashka if you want Clojure for other use-cases where start-up time is an issue

What's the value proposition of meta circular interpreters?
I've tried researching this myself and can't find too much. There's this project metaes which is an mci for JS, and there's the SCI module of the Clojure babashka project, but that's about it. I also saw Triska's video on mci but it was pretty theoretical.

Adding Dependencies on Clojure Project the Node Way: A Small Intro to neil CLI
Created by the same guy who created babashka which is a way to write bash scripts, node scripts, and even apple scripts using Clojure. A very proficient and influential developer in the Clojure community. This is how borkduke's neil helps us:

Not what you asked for but there is Babashka for scripting in Clojure.

Critique of Lazy Sequences in Clojure
Clojure's lazy sequences by default are wonderful ergonomically, but it provides many ways to use strict evaluation if you want to. They aren't really a hassle either. I've been doing Clojure for the last few years and have a few grievances, but overall it's the most coherent, well thought out language I've used and I can't recommend it enough.
There is the issue of startup time with the JVM, but you can also do AOT compilation now so that really isn't a problem. Here are some other cool projects to look at if you're interested:

Are there any languages (that are in common use in companies) and higher-level that give you the same feeling of simplicity and standardization as C?
I've enjoyed babashka for scripting; which is close enough to clojure to allow using some/many libraries; but (probably) not for embedding.
What are some alternatives?
Benthos - Fancy stream processing made operationally mundane
janet - A dynamic language and bytecode vm
amber - A Crystal web framework that makes building applications fast, simple, and enjoyable. Get started with quick prototyping, less bugs, and blazing fast performance.
malli - High-performance data-driven data specification library for Clojure/Script.
lucky - A full-featured Crystal web framework that catches bugs for you, runs incredibly fast, and helps you write code that lasts.
joker - Small Clojure interpreter, linter and formatter.
caramel - :candy: a functional language for building type-safe, scalable, and maintainable applications
nbb - Scripting in Clojure on Node.js using SCI
athena - An ecosystem of reusable, independent components
clojure-lsp - Clojure & ClojureScript Language Server (LSP) implementation
concurrent.cr - Modern concurrency tools for Crystal
racket - The Racket repository
