Crystal is like Ruby but not dynamic, with macros, without reflection, with arbitrary API changes to the core types that are shared, with value/reference type dichotomy, compiled, and faster.

Or, with apologies to the late Douglas Addams, Crystal is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike Ruby.



Crystal has compile-time macros/reflection, instead of runtime.
