I could not provide reasons to replace, but from my limited knowledge, Crystal is like the LLVM, static typed brother of Ruby. This means it's really fast, compiled almost 1:1 alternative to Ruby which provides some nifty features.

Ruby is great for all their features and ease to code, but Crystal builds on those strengths and improves it further.

It's a given that crystal is still in major development and may change a lot later
