I've been using Crystal for only a few months, but impressed with its speed and low memory footprint. Starting to build some small services with it now, but using Kemal or the Amber framework, I can see some medium sized projects coming out of it soon.
Was a cinch to swap over to it from Ruby. It is a little fussier with type definitions, but I guess that is to be understandable with a compiled system.
The third party ecosystem is still a little thin on the ground, or immature, and I hope it will grow. The Crystal community has also been really friendly and responsive. The couple of questions I have asked on Reddit or SO have been answered quickly and with lots of useful info.
