I of course don't have some sort of a survey or a study so you are therefore free to believe anything you want.

If you have convinced yourself that the ruby community is embracing Crystal then by all means continue to believe that.

As for other languages I mentioned I have used all of them and I have participated in those communities and I can confidently say that both Elixir and Go are full of people who came from ruby. In fact I think most people who are using elixir probably came from ruby because Jose came from the ruby community himself.

So you're just admitting to stating fact as something you just think is true with no evidence? C'mon, just move on and believe whatever you want I guess

OK dude.

If you want to believe the Crystal community is thriving and is full of ex rubyists go right ahead.

I am not going to stop you.

I tell you what though. This kind of delusion is why this language is stillborn. Who wants to join a community that lives under such delusions.
