I've started to transition from Ruby to Crystal for my pet projects and haven't hit any serious issues so far. Since you seem to have much more experience than I do, would you mind elaborating a bit on the issues you found and why you think the compiler and type system are bad?

I wouldn't count on it, judging by his previous comments he seems to prefer drive-by snipes over discussions. The fact that he made so many claims about how bad Crystal is without even attempting to explain why doesn't really make him seem credible. And the icing on the cake gotta be how he nitpicks on very minor grammatical errors made by non-native english speakers which he also seems to be completely unaware of that they are. Even I - a Swedish person - fully understand every sentence I've read so far, and English is not my primary language either.

I wouldn't take this guy seriously until he brings forth some constructive criticism.
