There’s something special about this day! Today’s date marks the anniversary of the first commit to Crystal’s repository. Here is a glimpse of the commit for that bit of nostalgia 🙂.

> <https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/commit/220bb8c736381d5beda5e7bc36c8d7f0d59badf6>

The project has seen 14,764 commits to the master from about 550 contributors since then.

We’re super delighted to be sharing this journey with Crystal’s passionate community which is global and with the project receiving contributions from members worldwide, Crystal has achieved a strong space in the programming world.

Thanks for your contributions, Crystalists 😇!

I guess we missed the 10 years anniversary last year, or at least I missed.
