    The Crystal Programming Language

  • The Crystal programming language is very nice. It is a typed, compiled language with excellent performance. The syntax is inspired by Ruby but is not identical to Ruby (by design).

    The all-important version 1.0 milestone was reached in March 2021. The next version (1.3) is scheduled for release in January 2022.

    Some downsides to Crystal:

    - No Windows version (yet). Estimate for a Windows version is still not known - this will obviously turn away any Windows developers. Crystal can be run via Windows Sub-system for Linux (WSL), but it's not ideal.

    - Slow(ish) compilation

    - Small community: This isn't necessarily a problem, but as a new language you won't find the same learning resources and online discussions as more popular languages.
