Kemal: Fast, simple web framework for Crystal

I like how Websockets is built in and considered as a primary feature. I use it more often than REST endpoints these days in my applications.

Crystal is too small of an audience for multiple frameworks. Hope the other framework[1] authors will chip in and support Kemal to make the Crystal ecosystem even greater.

Very cool stuff - love to see the power and expressiveness of Ruby in a much faster form. Frameworks like this help make the ecosystem more legitimate.

Nice to see benchmarks reported using a modern, reliable benchmarking tool. Impressive numbers too!

I've never heard of Crystal until now. It seems pretty darn neat. Is it new and gaining traction, or what?

For those who want to learn Crystal there's Crystal for Rubyists http://www.crystalforrubyists.com/ which is totally free with PDF, EPUB and MOBI downloads.

P.S: It's not just for Rubyists.

looks nice and awesome benchmarks...checkout the memory comparison in node vs kemal: http://kemalcr.com/docs/websockets/

Crystal (Kemal) CPU 1.85 Memory 11.2 MB

Node.js (ws) CPU 38.95 Memory 906.3 MB

impressive

Yeah, I've also never heard of Crystal until now. Could it be better than Elixir or nah?
