I'm reading through the documentation and I'm not getting the value prospect from using Crystal.

Is it essentially "Ruby-like" + "easier access to performance"?

Apologies if this is too reductive but https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41683815 shows there are multiple concerns about why one would use this language in the current age.

What does Crystal bring to the language decision tree in 2026?
