> Crystalian [being the name for Crystal users/evangelists] Man, there have to be better alternatives than this. Did you try “crystacean?” Chuckles in .rs.

There are lots of alternatives. There was a large thread on the forum discussing it and there is basically no consensus for a preferred term.

This is great Serdar.

As an alternative to Chapter 2 I’ll also share https://github.com/compumike/crystal-docker-quickstart my project template which lets you get a Crystal (currently 1.6.2) dev environment running with just Docker. Good for kicking the tires, which is what I think your audience is probably wanting to do! And then eventually can install a binary package as you suggest.
