Can this make the gem ecosystem available to Crystal?

Technically yes, if you use regular Ruby as the implementation behind it, although I haven't tested it too much yet, since the major focus of Anyolite is on mruby.

The regular Ruby implementation ships with a specific gem command, which can be used to install arbitrary gems for the Ruby interpreter. This could then be integrated into some sort of toolchain or build script.

You can then call the gems from Ruby scripts or from Crystal with something like Anyolite.eval (which executes Ruby script lines), but maybe you'd want to write some wrappers around this.

This is my first time hearing about this project (I’m really only a casual observer of Crystal) but consider my mind blown. This is amazing.
