Man, there have to be better alternatives than this.

Did you try “crystacean?” Chuckles in .rs.

Crystalist?

This is the way

Pfff, yesterday i talked with a Brain fucker...it was terrifying. Can we just stop calling peoples after tools?

[sdiacom]

Generally I would agree, but in this case, "Crystal user" isn't that much better.

[nix23]

A developer who uses crystal? Like a builder who uses a hammer is not a hammer-user ;)

EDIT: Wow that took a long time to realize what you meant...haha no, truly not good, and thinking about it my comment "A developer who uses crystal?" is now terrible too.

[raydiatian]

Crystal dev

Problem solved

[nix23]

Develops the best Crystal on the market ;)

[jspash]

A "tool" is probably the best term for someone who actually uses BF.

[glenngillen]

Crystian? ;)

[squarefoot]

With Crystmas as official language day? I'm in!:)

[pilaf]

Sounds appropriate given that Ruby already does all its major releases on Christmas day, considering Crystal's close relationship with Ruby.

[aaaronic]

Geodes?

[brianjacobs]

I think this is an underrated response given that any crystal can start as a geode.

[amval]

Geodudes?

[austinjp]

Hmm, perhaps Wyld Crystallyns?

[raydiatian]

I too wanted to make this pun, glad I’m not alone :)

[quickthrower2]

Cooks? :-)

[unixhero]

Easy there Jesse

[chillfox]

There are lots of alternatives. There was a large thread on the forum discussing it and there is basically no consensus for a preferred term.

As someone from the US state of Michigan that has at least two competing demonyms, I actually find the idea of everyone using a different form based on preference to be charming.
