For what it's worth, I have zero association with Crystal, but just happen feel that it appeals to me the most. You can see this on my GitHub too, all projects up until a week ago were Python.

And I chose Fibonacci as a fun little test which I even stated in the post. It should be obvious that this is not an overall indicator of performance for all use cases.

For many of us, Windows isn't our target platform so the Windows compatibility isn't a deal breaker. I understand that this is a big problem for many though and there is evidence that the Crystal team are on it; see https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/issues/5430.

Please don't take the post too seriously, it's not intended to be and clearly everyone will have different preferences and tastes as is the case with anything in life.
