I, for one, would love to live in this multiverse. Don’t think it’s the name’s fault (google crystal-lang instead). I honestly think it needs better frameworks to draw bigger crowds, and it needs more devs in the community to build and maintain them. Amber is my personal fav (b/w Kemal, Amber and Lucky) because it uses Rails-esque conventions as a small MVC library. Its documentation is sparse and you often end up having to work around some of its underdeveloped areas, but I believe it has the best chance if it gets some love. I would not be surprised if another framework emerges and outshines all three post-1.0 release. Either way, I’ve got my fingers crossed.
