I'm rapidly becoming a huge Svelte fan. Quick self-promotion plug (but in the name of altruism): I've been working on an open source project that glues together Svelte (on the front end) and Crystal (on the back end).

Two slightly obscure (but growing) languages/frameworks, but hey, gotta pick a niche. Contributions & feedback welcome!

As someone kind of sitting on the sidelines waiting for Crystal to gain some traction before I dedicate time to learning/working with it, I appreciate you for digging in and moving things forward.
Cool project! Made me actually check out Crystal Lang - looks like a much nicer, modern version of Ruby without the cruft.

Found a straggler "CrystalVue" substring in the main .cr file, you should give 'er the old find-and-replace all to change them.

Oh thank you!! I totally missed that.
I'll definitely give this a try soon, Crystal is lovely and I want to give Svelte a try, thanks.
