Hi! :)

The purpose of Amber is not to create yet another framework, but to take advantage of the beautiful Crystal language capabilities and provide engineers and the Crystal community with an efficient, cohesive, well maintained web framework that embraces the language philosophies, conventions, and guidelines.

Lol
faaq··on Windows Subsystem for Linux is out of beta
I use Crystal (not Windows support yet) and works well.
faaq··on Stylo shipping in Firefox Nightly
OMG, I had never seen Sciter before, All I thought is a lie, ESET, Norton, Avast all were using HTML even before electron exist. I always thought theirs software was made by hand using native APIs and frameworks.
faaq··on How to build video games for Windows using Crystal
When Crystal will be ready on Windows, could exist a nice Installer? Something like accept, next, next, next, finish.

faaq··on The Crystal Programming Language
Untyped number literals is the second issue with more number of +1 reactions.

faaq··on The Crystal Programming Language
But, Also you can try static linking :-)

--link-flags="static"

The output binary is bigger than dynamic linked and it would needs some dev libraries before compile.

faaq··on The Crystal Programming Language
The first item is the syntax, Go use braces while Crystal is Ruby based syntax.

Go has full parallelism support. Crystal is WIP.

Go has Windows support. Crystal is WIP.

Crystal and Go performance are very similar.

Go is backed by Google and his community since 2009.

Crystal is backed by Manas.tech and his community since 2012.

Go has full featured IDEs like https://www.jetbrains.com/go/

I hope to have Crystal IDE support after 1.0 :-)

faaq··on The Crystal Programming Language
What are the issues or features that crystal needs to solve before 1.0?
