Cloudplane.org VS Crystal (programming language)

I do think masto.host is a great host, but if you can afford a bit more, I can throw my hat in the ring: Cloudplane. Our pricing model is based on usage, so you'll never have to upgrade you base plan just to upload more media.

Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago. If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

Crystal is a nice language that's not only simple to read and write but performs very well too. And the documentation is amazing as well. Source: 5 months ago

Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything. My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting. I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
