I like ruby semantics / syntax, but find everything else very finicky.
Crystal is much better but not big enough yet.
To me Crystal is too often different from Ruby for the sake of being different in ways that just makes it infuriating to work with because the effort of porting code to it is much higher than necessary, and the main advantage it offer is being compiled. That's just simply not enough for me to consider switching.
