I love Elixir, but it is an extremely niche language. It's great for network application, but just doesn't seem to be suitable for a daily driver language. Meanwhile crystal can fit all the bill: you can use it to write small scripts, you can write it for write long running service, you can write it to crunch data (the multi-threading feature of crystal is still an experiment though, but it works well for basic stuff)... As I mainly use ruby for scripting, Crystal has been replacing ruby's role for me for 3+ years and I don't even find anything that really missing, except for maybe a decent ORM like Sequel. |
