- It shows numerous code snippets covering various functionalities. Not just "Hello world" but code samples that give you a very solid flavor of the language.
- Its spinning logo can be manipulated with the mouse.
Neat project, though slightly undermined by the drawing of the half-naked underage girl in the readme
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It lacks first-class Windows support. That's it. That's why it fails to gain the traction it deserves.
That never stopped the Go community from porting Go to Windows. It was never ported by core maintainers, but by Go developers themselves.
I wonder if Elixir and Crystal compete for ruby developers to pick up
Just this morning I was pondering the same thing in Elixir. I wonder if Elixir and Crystal compete for ruby developers to pick up
What is that beautiful desktop wallpaper? any source?
There's a link at the bottom of the readme. https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/78375860 Seems to require login, though.

Wow. Preemptive multitasking, graphical window management, POSIX-like, in a programming language that to my knowledge it hasn't yet been done in... and in just several months of work. There's no smoke and mirrors as far as I can tell. I dug back to the initial commit: https://github.com/ffwff/lilith/commit/c9fa1053dc6a22d630ee6... - and it's just bootstrapping to VGA. Very well done, and inspiring. Makes me want to t…
Interesting choice of syscalls: https://github.com/ffwff/lilith/blob/master/userspace/librar... . No fork; instead it seems to implement spawnv.
Wow. That's impressive. Crystal is a solid alternative to Go. I gave it a solid look when figuring out which language I should learn. The only reason Crystal didn't make it is because it's just missing some core features. The one that sticks out is there is no way to get the length of a channel last time I looked. But this is impressive and I can't wait to see what's next

Maybe it's just because I come from Ruby, but Crystal seems like an amazing language. I'm interested why it seems to be getting little attention compared to Go, Rust, & Julia. It seems in the same league to me. Kotlin and Swift have more obvious reasons for their adoption.
For being a 5-year old indie language out of South America, I think it's doing quite well, and projects like this are good evidence of why.
Ruby is an outstandingly productive language. Copying the expressive syntax and ergonomics of Ruby into a fast, statically typed, compiled language with excellent C bindings is a very compelling idea.
