    The Crystal Programming Language

    There's a list of what they consider important highlights, with snippets, if you scroll down https://crystal-lang.org/

    * Syntax: Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s...

    * Type System: Crystal is statically type checked...

    and so on

  3. scry

    Discontinued Scry is a code analysis server for https://crystal-lang.org

    There's a few LSP implementation that are very usable: https://github.com/crystal-lang-tools/scry, https://github.com/elbywan/crystalline

    Beginning of a tree-sitter parser here too: https://github.com/keidax/tree-sitter-crystal

  4. crystalline

    A Language Server Protocol implementation for Crystal. 🔮

    There's a few LSP implementation that are very usable: https://github.com/crystal-lang-tools/scry, https://github.com/elbywan/crystalline

    Beginning of a tree-sitter parser here too: https://github.com/keidax/tree-sitter-crystal

  6. nimforum

    Lightweight alternative to Discourse written in Nim

    Author of Jester here.

    I agree that a nice website would be great to have for Jester (and I do intend to create one), but I think you place far too much importance on Jester having one. Jester/HttpBeast is used in production by big web apps[1], why doesn't this inspire enough confidence and possibly even more than the other web frameworks you've mentioned?

    I think there is an inherent bias that all humans have for shiny design, you should definitely keep it in mind when choosing a technology.

  7. zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

    You might enjoy Zig then, although it's closer to the Go or C spirit and shares a decent number of the Crystal shortcomings you've mentioned.

    It's still pre-1.0 but you might find it interesting, but maybe not for what you're working with right now. https://ziglang.org

  8. crystal-libraries-needed

    A list of libraries that are needed or wanted for the Crystal-Language

    There's one here: https://github.com/crystal-community/crystal-libraries-neede...

    Not sure how active it is, though.

  9. Stream

    Stream - Scalable APIs for Chat, Feeds, Moderation, & Video. Stream helps developers build engaging apps that scale to millions with performant and flexible Chat, Feeds, Moderation, and Video APIs and SDKs powered by a global edge network and enterprise-grade infrastructure.
