This might be the reason: Reddit - Dive into anything

They also hired the person behind faastruby which had support for Crystal. Maybe the plan is to move some stuff into their own serverless world running Crystal? Excited to see

I would love this to happen.

However “had support for Crystal” is not the same as “running Crystal”. Is it a known fact that faastRuby backed was implemented in Crystal, or had some parts implemented in Crystal?
