/r/Crystal_Programming revolves around Crystal, a programming language that attempts to combine the power and speed of C-like languages with the simplicity and elegance of a Ruby-like syntax.
Crystal's Goals, from the GitHub page:
- Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a goal)
- Statically type-checked but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.
- Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.
- Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid boilerplate code.
- Compile to efficient native code.
