About a month ago, Crystal https://crystal-lang.org/'s multi-threading moved out of preview. I'm a little late with the blog post, but figured I'd share it here in case someone is interested in the language.
To those unfamiliar with **Crystal**, it's basically an AoT-compiled language with a syntax that's inspired by **Ruby** but with static type safety.
It doesn't have a big org behind it, so **Manas Tech** still working on the language and shipping enhancements is quite amazing imo. I will add that while it's used by Kagi https://kagi.com/ and Lavinmq https://lavinmq.com/ , I don't think either company has the same resources to pour into **Crystal** as **Jane Street** does with **OCaml**.
I haven't really had the chance to play around with the changes. So, got no clue on what the experience is like. #technology #dev #programming
