I understand where both you and the current motto are coming from, but that doesn’t really change the fact that it sounds pretty bland and doesn’t actually say anything, unless you’re already familiar with Crystal.

There’s this other, excellent forum post and conversation about a very similar topic [https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/the-core-principles-behind-crystal](https://forum.crystal-lang.org/t/the-core-principles-behind-crystal), discussing what Crystal is and what it’s trying to be.
