Hello, I'm the author of this project. Let me explain a few things:

1. The goal of this project is to let people "Use Ruby-like syntax build Go-like performant api servers".

2. The "Ruby-like" means Ruby-like syntax because I am a Rubyist and I think using Ruby to develop project is fast.

3. Using golang is because I want to build a http server library upon go's http package, which I think is a very good choice for writing api servers. And of course I might use goroutine directly in the future.

4. Making rooby compilable is just a feature I personally like.

5. You can see this project as a experimental language for a relatively small goal (see the first point above) + I like writing Go, then you won't be so surprise why I created it and not using crystal instead.

6. I really didn't expect rooby would gain so many traction, thanks for all your opinions :)

I think you shoulda named it "Goby" -- which is a real word for a cute l'il fish.
