Wow, I disagree.

1) a binary executable of low memory footprint that can be run as a standard systemd service vs THE JVM (gasps of terror)

2) I bet you Crystal STILL beats the pants off jRuby or actually ANYTHING run on the JVM (perf. metrics)

3) I bet you the maintenance costs of the Crystal binary are lower over the course of 5 years, by a large large factor

4) I will bet you the UPTIME of the Crystal binary is higher, by a large large factor
