It&#x27;s often hard for readers to figure it out from a changelog.<p>From the docs:<p>&quot;Crystal is a programming language with the following goals:<p>Have a syntax similar to Ruby (but compatibility with it is not a goal).<p>Be statically type-checked, but without having to specify the type of variables or method arguments.<p>Be able to call C code by writing bindings to it in Crystal.<p>Have compile-time evaluation and generation of code, to avoid boilerplate code.<p>Compile to efficient native code.&quot;<p>See:  <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crystal-lang.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crystal-lang.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;</a>
