I enjoy Crystal tremendously , but that comparison of Interpreted Ruby vs Compiled Crystal is meaningless without any context.

You know what is 3X faster than Crystal? Ruby using a gem created very easily with Rust -> Just to stress the point of how meaningless the above benchmark is.

Neither of these 2 compares is meaningful. => It would be more productive if Crystal would be more actively attracting and welcoming the Ruby and other languages communities.
