    I've been meaning to kick the tires on Crystal, but haven't find the right project yet. Would be curious to hear how people like using it.

    Been using Crystal on a project that would've been written in basic Ruby.. productivity is amazing. And it has generics! :D https://play.crystal-lang.org/#/r/6r3e

    How to get Crystal 0.28.0 on macOS right now! :

        brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/ca8f21cd49a936bf154235b365fa23929f9f688d/Formula/crystal.rb

    > This is a big release that includes ... important changes for the much awaited ... windows features.

    Then the article doesn't say another word about Windows.

    Odd, I've really enjoyed seeing Crystal develop but this latest release adds so many features that it feels like the language might fall off my radar again - too much complexity!
