As an experienced Crystalist and Rubyist, here is what community contributor, Jamie Gaskins has to share about his experience working with “Crystal”.
https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/having-a-blast-with-crystal/5759

What’s fascinating to learn is that Jamie is amazed by the simplicity of Crystal code even after using the language for about 6 years now. Hope you find this read interesting and are able to drive value from it.

Just got #CrystalLang on aarch64-linux all packaged up for #nix

Feel free to use it `nix shell github:crunchydata/nixpkgs#crystal`, but it's not a priority for me to maintain it outside of what I just need for myself.

I was hoping to get it more automatic with cross compiling, but gave up and just uploaded a hand cross built crystal.o and use that to bootstrap everything else. I imagine that this probably can keep building new versions for a while.

Happy to finally see Rubyists taking a look at Crystal. While it's not 100% Ruby, it's still very powerful for when you need to ship a binary, need strong typing, or to squeeze every last bit of performance out.

Trying to come up with a name for my Kemal/Sinatra-inspired #CrystalLanguage application framework for #Gemini. I first thought of "Gus", after one of the astronauts in the (space-related) Gemini-project, since it's a name of a person like the inspirations.
But 1) the main Gemini search engine is called GUS, 2) I couldn't backronym it :blobcatblep:

Also thought of "GAF" (Gemini Application Framework). But a bit too boring.

Maybe GemApF; although it reads like some swedish military acronym.
