I really like Crystal, but I am too dependent on LSPs and such for productivity, and the Crystal LSP leaves a lot to be desired, even though it is fantastic work for what it is.

Can't rely on AI either, as it constantly confuses it with Ruby.

I did do a few backend/server code challenges and advent code in Crystal. It worked really well and was very powerful.

I would love to write my MMO server in it, but again, tooling is still a sore spot for me.

I'm currently using github copilot with claude 3.7, mostly for auto complete, work pretty well although sometimes it does return ruby variant of the code (it call the ruby methods that not existing in crystal)

but for my use case, copilot works pretty well.
