Once Crystal integrates parallelism (at 1.0), it should
become de facto one of the best alternative to Go, Java, C#,

genericity system works well, and its type inference system
natively support union types.
Except it has no Windows support and doesn't look like it will
happen anytime soon. Some people might be living in a UNIX
bubble, but Windows is a big market, and a language won't make
it big without Windows support.
Right :)
But remember that Crystal is still in its infancy, as it hasn't
reached its 1.0 version yet.
Parallelism is on its way, and Windows support too...
Don't forget that nowadays many (can I say most ?) servers are
based on unix variants, so their platform support order looks
perfectly fine and logical to me.
Actually a large share of servers run Windows Server and/or Azure
servers running Windows too.
It's not logical to not support both.
D already has that advantage supporting pretty much every
platform you can think of.
