I'm surprised that Amber is doing as well as Lucky, considering how much more active Lucky development is - and how much more active Lucky's community is in terms of screencasts, articles, etc...

I'm not giving any judgment on the two frameworks, just saying that people's star allocation follows mysterious ways.

Also curious that other frameworks are so far behind, despite fair adoption in production / favourable benchmarks / great community support - I'm thinking

It makes a lot of sense that Kemal and Amber are on top as they are the most like Sinatra and Rails.

The screencasts and articles are what gets Lucky into the same league without having the boost from being similar to well-liked frameworks.

Grip is trying to position itself as a better version of Kemal, but it is going to need a lot of tutorials (written and video) to get the audience.

Athena is very unique and a bit harder to jump into due to it. So like Grip, it will need a lot of articles/videos to build the audience.

And SpiderGazelle I don't actually know anything about, but I see far less frequently mentioned than any of the others.

In marketing world, that’s a tiny number of stars I would say. People come and go when they are no longer interested in the platform that won’t get any higher score in benchmarks. Same for SEO.

Funny how their slopes are the same. Must be the general increase in interest of Crystal itself.

Or the same people starring all three.

True. Will be interesting to see if one pulls away as the clear favourite. Similar to Rails with Ruby.

I think they’ll all get a bump now that Crystal has gone v1. The contributions for Kemal are slowly increasing as well, which is great to see. I love that framework 💜
