OK, OK! I keep seeing news for Crystal lately. I can take a hint, Universe - I'll write a new project in it.

That last one that hit HN frontpage was 16 days ago [1], and apart from my submission for 1.6 release which barely hit the frontpage, the next discussion on Crystal was September.

Compared to the HN darling, Rust. Crystal is hardly active.

Took me about 5 minutes to write a TCP echo server. I think only Ruby Async::IO is close to that easy.

It's probably just consequence of some person trying really hard to promote the language these days, rather than a divine intervention.

Some would argue that “some person” and “the universe” are the same.

The universe is a superset of all the people in my office right now....
