# The lang/crystal port

## crystal-1.17.1 – statically typed object oriented language

## Description

    Crystal is a programming language with the following goals:

    * Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a
      goal)
    * Be statically type-checked, but without having to specify the type
      of variables or method arguments.
    * Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.
    * Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid
      boilerplate code.
    * Compile to efficient native code.
