I love Crystal, and have loved it for several years. It was my go-to for Advent of Code or small fun projects for a while.

Eventually, I got so tired of constantly jumping between browser docs and my editor because of the lack of a working and useful language server (yes, I know about Scry and Crystalline, but neither of them actually do autocomplete outside of maybe 2% of cases), and I got so used to an amazing tooling experience when writing F# (my other favorite language) that I just kinda dropped off using Crystal.

Things I would've written in Crystal, I wrote in F#. If I _really_ needed a static binary, I picked up Rust (though I love Crystal's syntax _so much more_ than Rust's).

If Crystal gets a good language server, heck yeah I'll roll with it. In the meantime, it just sorta feels like a missed opportunity.
