The Crystal programming language community. Not only is Crystal itself fascinating, but the ecosystem growing up around it is full of positive energy.

Not yet. It has a few hurdles to clear before it's ready to contend with things like Go.

However, the joy of writing Crystal code is beyond anything else I've done. It feels really nice. I'm already toying with the idea of writing my next big side project in Crystal.

I've been very into "tech twitter" as of late but I find it incredibly intimidating. I'm looking for discords, slacks, email lists, etc. that are more inclusive and beginner-friendly.
