@MastodonEngineering Schaut euch doch mal Crystal als Alternative zu Ruby an. Stabiler, sicherer, schneller, Ressourcen schonender. Syntax ist ähnlich.

@joergba I don't think they're going to be looking into rewriting the whole codebase any time soon.

Ruby on Rails to Lucky on Crystal: Blazing fast, fewer bugs, and even more fun. | HackerNoon

I love Ruby and I love Rails, but I’ve found myself searching for something more. Something fast so I don’t need to add caching. Something type-safe so customers see fewer bugs. Something fun to use so I actually <em>enjoy</em> building applications.

@joergba Right. I am not arguing which one is better, just that I would not expect them to start rewriting everything based on one reply on social media.
