I am trying to understand where Crystal wants to be. Is its goal to be 1:1 compitable with Ruby syntax?

no, they definitely have differences.

I'd say crystal's syntax is ruby inspired, and will feel mostly right to a rubyist, but some things (data types, macros, etc.) will be different.

It's nice though.
