summary

Crystal is a typed, LLVM compiled Ruby-like language with strong type inference, union types and generics that make many errors fail at compile time. It offers simple C bindings and is 100% self-hosted. The ecosystem uses crystal shards (about 180 shards when shown) and has MySQL and JSON libraries; a demo shows Fibonacci(40) going from ~9s in Ruby to 0.2 seconds as a compiled Crystal binary. Not 1.0 yet, suitable for fast CPU-bound tasks and parsing but not for full-production large apps.
