I seriously wonder if this is a criterion. For example Gitlab which is known to get updated each month, still uses Ruby in their backend. So their clients use scripts that could be 2x to 20x faster if made in Crystal.
I don't think it makes any difference. They've rewritten the performance critical parts in Go as needed: https://about.gitlab.com/blog/2018/10/29/why-we-use-rails-to-build-gitlab/ I very much doubt they'd trust their business to a small, work-in-progress language like Crystal.
