For the thrill man! If it doesn't have a library you need you create it yourself. Eventually enough people who have the skill to contribute will become interested in Crystal and contribute a library, then one day crystal will replace java. In all seriousness, other than the multithreaded windows support, which libraries are missing?

For sure. I've had a lot of fun getting to be the person to create some basic libraries for things like image manipulation and an ORM for mongodb when I find no one else has done that yet.

One big thing that is missing still is full google cloud platform and AWS libraries. There is an s3 connector but I think it's out of date.
