OCaml (well, actually Scala in my case, but I can understand why people wouldn't want to have to use the JVM) is already that, as far as I can see. What is it that Crystal offers that OCaml doesn't?

Not a great way to convince OCaml fans to use something else.

All 3 of them? Jokes aside, they're probably aiming for Ruby fans (or fans of other dynamic languages).

I doubt Crystal's marketing goals are to convince OCaml fans...

A gentle learning curve for developers with a Ruby background.
