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.

Django defaults that will kill your project
> Regarding 1. While this is certainly an issue, it’s an issue for anyone using any framework and a challenge of database-backed web applications everywhere.
No, there are frameworks out there that doesn't allow queries during template rendering. See Lucky for an example, https://luckyframework.org/.
