If only Crystal has full windows support, then I can confidently recommend it to you.

Building cli tools in crystal is fairly easy thank to the standard OptionParser library. `colorize` is almost perfect, too, in case you want to print some ascii colors. And just like ruby, invoking some shell command is simply wrapping the command with backticks. and FileUtils has ton of features.

Too bad Crystal now only works in POSIX.
