It started out, like many things at [Manas.Tech](https://manas.tech/), as an experiment. Easy to write languages used to mean that you had to sacrifice speed. And getting fast meant enduring difficult syntax. So it began with asking ourselves: “What if we didnt have to choose one or the other”, “what if we could compile Ruby?”. It turned out that it worked, so we decided to turn that experiment into an actual project and give it our best shot. It is our pride and joy: time and time again, we find that it is delightful to write code in Crystal, and that it outperforms everything else out there.

## Mission
Easy to write languages used to mean that you had to sacrifice speed. And getting fast meant enduring difficult syntax. Crystal means no longer having to choose: a programming language that adjusts to the needs of the programmer and the computer: easy to learn and code, but very performant and typesafe. The best of both worlds.
