Thanks to everyone for your participation!
As a basic summary, what we can know from the poll:
- people use
crystal init
(as expected) - for most people, the command does not fit exactly their needs (fine or not with it)
- roughly half the people are fine with the tool in its current state
- roughly half the people are not really fine with the tool for its lack of features
Overall, adding more features can be beneficial for most of us, if the current ones are still present to satisfy those being fine with the current situation.
What’s remaining to decide is the hardest part: what to do? It can prove to be a challenge to have a more complex tool, yet still simple, remaining inside the compiler (or not, like shards?).
Several options:
- add features, directly to the existing tool
- Proposal: Download project templates with crystal init
