In the 1950s, there were hundreds of thousands of telephone switchboard operators. Today, they're all gone. There used to be well over a million professional typists too, but word processing largely killed those jobs as well.

That is true, but this time this is at a global scale at affects general work and it will accelerate faster.

What happens to former human workers when global unemployment rises faster with a disappearing buying power and consumption from humans as their income vanishes and their savings are all spent on food and rent?

We have all of this running on a 16 MHz machine, yet on todays computers with 32GB RAM we have highly memory intensive desktop apps that use java and even electron.

Even a text editor today written in javascript using Electron will take 1GB+ without considering the user could open multiple documents which can increase the RAM usage.

Is Crystal even relevant at all now?

It isn't interoperable with Ruby and I don't know of any reputable companies using Crystal.

It just looks like Ruby, but it isn't Ruby and it is a compiled language? OK?

I am not sure why I should learn this language?

Thank you very much.

This needs to be said, and this language cannot be saved.
