how is Crystal nowadays? I remember a few years ago there was a lot of buzz about it, but then I haven’t heard much lately

I’ve made some research, but couldn’t find anything about it, so I guess they don’t use it =x

Humm, interesting, but I guess it was just some experiment. I had a look on their techblog and see no mentions of crystal All posts | SoundCloud Backstage Blog

And in this post from 2 years ago Learning Scala at SoundCloud | SoundCloud Backstage Blog the author mentions that most of their microservices are written in Scala. That’s interesting too because I thought people were avoiding Scala after all the breaking changes from 2 to 3.
