It's a pain in the ass to compile Crystal programs on Windows.
With Go? just download the Go compiler, nothing else, Crystal isn't first class on windows.
That's why. A lot of people here don't understand that a good chunk of developers (and students) still use Windows, without any linux subsystem or VM.
PHP became popular because of easyPHP on Windows. If PHP never ran on windows it would never have ever gain its popularity, it doesn't matter if it's then deployed on Linux servers.
