It is common to call C functions from Ruby or Crystal. It's interesting to know that there are alternatives to bridge these two languages that share the same goal of writing beautiful programs, using a similar syntax. The mentioned crystalruby gem allows interfacing Ruby programs with Crystal, and the shard anyolite allows calling Ruby programs from Crystal.

Crystal and Ruby are two wonderful languages, each with their pros and cons. Crystal's performance and low memory footprint is hardly contested, and can further be studied in the benchmarks of language and compilers (but be critical about benchmarks!).

llvm-project
The LLVM Project is a collection of modular and reusable compiler and toolchain technologies.
In conclusion, none of the proposed changes to the Ruby version of the code makes a dent in the Crystal version. This is not entirely Crystal's doing: it uses the LLVM backend, which generates very optimized binaries.
