Hello everyone,

I am a Crystal newbie! ( I haven’t had to say that in a very long time, thank you haha).

I am really excited about Crystal, and to start would like to commend everyone involved with Crystal 👏

I am so excited about Crystal, that I’ve (essentially) spent my 4th of July weekend writing a new number of posts about it (and even dared to share them in HN):

- [About Crystal](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31970833)

- [Let’s compare the run performance of a bubble sort script with Crystal and Ruby](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31976901)

Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and share my enthusiasm for Crystal,  
Rafael
