#4It feels like Crystal it took all the best things from the languages I love, and put them together into one, beautiful language:
- Elegance of Ruby
- Statically type checked + global type inference
- No Nulls
- Go-like concurrency
- Easy C ffi
- High performance
I really hope the Crystal succeeds and the language goes mainstream - this release is a huge step forward towards that. Congrats to the Crystal team for reaching the 1.0 milestone!

Thanks for mentioning Amber! I assume it's this project: https://amber-lang.net/
I've long wanted to get into Smalltalk and this looks like a very nice, modern way of doing so.

I think they meant this web framework:
https://amberframework.org/
There are two pretty big web frameworks in the Crystal world right now, one is Kemal which strives to be the Sinatra or Flask of the Crystal world (lightweight, supporting plugins), and the other is Crystal which is trying to be the Ruby on Rails or Django of the Crystal world (full-featured, opinionated).
