* Language:....Claim To Fame........................Failure Point
* Crystal:........Slick As Ruby Fast as C;..........No Windows Support(Yet)
* Red:............Full Stack, EASY! gui;...............Documentation LACKING!
* Nim:............Multi-platform, Great GC;.........Nothing significant
*

* I realize this is a naive and over-simplified perspective but I think it
may help highlight the way many "outsiders" see it.
* Crystal and Red are good examples of languages that have a pretty
significant failure point but have "Claims to fame" that entry level
programmers get excited about.
* Nim is a solid language with good performance and no obvious failure points.
* Imagine cheerleaders (who doesn't like doing that) chanting the tag lines.
yay.. platforms... garbage collection. VS "SLICK AS RUBY FAST AS C!!!"
* I think marketing plays a bigger influence on language popularity than it
should.
