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.
