The release of the first major release of Crystal arrives after many years of hard work.

"Outlook not so good."

Oh, I'm sure that some will use this ruby/python clone, I just don't think that set will include me.

Cool, yet another new language. I'm sure it's very good. I wish them good luck. New languages are always intriguing. BUT... are we reaching "peak language"? Have we hit enough languages that cover the same ground as earlier ones (no matter how good they are)? Or am I just being boring?

That's how I feel about it, yeah. I know we need new languages to experiment with features that end up in the "real" languages, but it's just tiring to watch them fly by.
