nelua-lang
Minimal, efficient, statically-typed and meta-programmable systems programming language heavily inspired by Lua, which compiles to C and native code.
I'd think it would be system level programming with acceptably good performance with high level abstractions and the Ruby flavor. Similarly is Nelua[1] which uses Lua's syntax and APIs and compiles to C.

I'd say it's the Ruby-inspired syntax. Some people find the Ruby syntax a joy to work with. Crystal has that, but also includes type checking out of the box, among other things.
The front page, imo, does a good job of outlining the key features of Crystal:
If none of these features seem that compelling for you, then Crystal may not be for you. As someone who has experience writing/reading/maintaining Ruby code, Crystal seems a lot more friendly to me than Go, but each to their own.
