Crystal is great and I think it nailed statically typing in a Ruby like language, but I've always been wary of day job use of the language because it doesn't have a significant user base.
If this stabilizes and gets networking support, there are definitely projects that I'll be able to use this for, and the buy-in will be easier than proposing Crystal.

This subset of Ruby doesn’t either.

I agree, it's a network effect problem and I wouldn't use it for professional use, only personal.
