About Crystal

class HelloWorld
  def self.hello(name = "World")
    "Hello, #{name}!"
  end
end

Crystal is a compiled language that is currently in the alpha stages of development. These are some of the language's goals:

Ruby-inspired syntax.
Statically type-checked but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.
Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.
Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid boilerplate code.
Compile to efficient native code.
