Ruby syntax compiled to native — 'slick as Ruby, fast as C'; reached 1.0 in 2021 after a decade of gestation.

Influenced by Ruby
Created by Ary Borenszweig

Manas's Crystal (2014) — Ruby syntax, LLVM native compilation — is 'Ruby, but fast': the same feel, AOT compiled, static types, fibers.\n\nIt is the Ruby diaspora's most successful experiment — a language for people who love Ruby but need speed.
