Crystal's Interpreter (2021)
it's had an IRB-like REPL for years. It just wasn't built into the language. Admittedly it was limited compared to IRB but it was more than enough to test out quick ideas.
It's called ICR: Interactive Crystal
https://github.com/crystal-community/icr
the first release was back in 2017

Simple Jupyter kernel for Crystal with 140 lines
I wrote a Crystal kernel for Jupyter, just a modified bash_kernel, 140 lines of code, but it was tiring because I don't have enough Python ability. icrystal is the widely used Jupyter kernel for Crystal, which uses ICR . On the other hand, this crystal_kernel uses the official crystal interpreter.

Phoenix on Rails - a Phoenix tutorial for Rails developers
https://luckyframework.org/ . Kemal is even faster but it's mostly for APIs. In my opinion it's on par with Actix with much, much better developer experience.

How do you find the market in 2023?
It's been around for a while under development. It had it's 1.0.0 release in March 2021. There's been two (online) Crystal conferences, and there's two Crystal books published. There's a decent ecosystem of "shards" and there are a couple of Crystal web frameworks and ORMS that are similar to Sinatra or Rails-like. If you already know Ruby, learning Crystal is super easy.
- Kemal: Fast, Effective, Simple Web Framework for Crystal
-
Marten, a Crystal web framework that makes building web apps productive and fun
They’re all good to try IMO, another is https://kemalcr.com which is akin to Sinatra if you just want to get an HTTP server with routes setup quickly.
