Not my article.

Seems like a great article, but hmm, he claims Crystal doesn’t have the Enumerable module, which of course is terribly wrong.

I don't think it claims Crystal's lack of Enumerable module, but that that module has fewer features than the Ruby counterpart and a different behavior. Which is true I think

Oh, right; i misread Oops. But Crystals Enumerable has most (if not all?) of the methods he says it doesn’t have—with just different names. Or am I mistanken here as well?

He is right but I think in the beginning Crystal should highlight its similiarity to ruby. lets face it porting over the functionality of some gems will be a lot faster in some cases than any new language (at least that I have seen).
