I just don't want to have to deal with a bunch of second guessing judgmental jerks anymore. Nobody in the Crystal community is going to go after me for something "not idiomatic" I published.

Go is not on my top 10 languages that I would use, but still I see some value on it being used.

What I meant with that remark was that those languages already had fast toolchains and were more expressive.

So in this regard I also appreciate Crystal, specially since RubyMotion decided to focus on mobile.

Ok, for my purpose I would be far less interest in programing language which has no idioms, no critical feedback, that is basically a mutual admiration society.
