My current position is very .NET-centric, so I was looking for an opportunity to explore outside of that ecosystem. However, I wanted to do that without having to go through all of the runtime exceptions that are inevitable with a lot of the popular dynamic languages out there. Crystal's combination of features seems like a great mix in that regard.
Clean, concise syntax like Ruby
Type-safety via a compiler to shorten the feedback loop, like C# that I'm used to.
Extremely fast compared to other languages
I'm currently working on a few useful libraries that seem to fill a gap in the current community's packages.

I've been learning Crystal. It's a great mix of Ruby syntax, typing with inference, and compiled language speeds :thumbs_up:.
I saw a meetup talk about Crystal in a local Ruby meetup this spring. It looked very interesting!
Do you have some specific use cases you're learning it for or just out of general curiosity?
