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.

Exercism is a great website

What I like about it is that I am able to solve the challenges in a TDD way working in a environment that I am familiar (my own PC not a browser IDE) and the cherry on the top of the cake is that I have access to code reviews.

Relaxed. Encouraging. Supportive.
