    "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.
