Is Crystal also analogous to ruby?
Ahh yes. Totally forgot about crystal.

Crystal - A solid whose atoms (or molecules) are arranged in a repeating pattern. Crystals are found naturally or can be made artificially.

Someone should use Diamond for the next programming language, really like the wiki definition.

Diamond - is a carbon crystal formed under heat and pressure.
