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.

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.

These are the 4 requirements for a better Reddit
Technologically robust, making use of open source frameworks that ensure scalability of usage and auditability of the codebase. So, no PHP-based rickety structures or the secret devising of some lone wolf developer. This can't be trusted by anyone: its development must be done in the public repositories. Consider using a Crystal framework such as Amber, which is a compiled-to-binary Ruby clone, lightning-fast (it can handle over 1 million+ requests per second) and compatible with the expansive Rails ecosystem. Or any other solid language base, such as Go or Java.

Crystal PCRE2 Upgrade Guide
I'm in a similar situation with the Amber Framework. I'm not one of the original creators of Amber, I just took it over last year (2022). So I have a decent size code base to maintain with potential for breaking changes.

Making an mpd-based music hosting site.
hey r/webdev, i have a side project i want to make, where users with different logins can upload music files onto a server via ftp, and listen to it back via mpd. I've decided for the meantime, on using the [amber framework](https://amberframework.org/). Each user will have a basic username/password login with *optional* OTP sent via email, a specific limit on the amount of storage they get (say, 5-10Gb), and a user-specific mpd connection\*
