But I feel Crystal has already gained such momentum that it indeed will get somewhere, it’s beyond that phase "to begin with."Let's hope so, but I fear that's wishful thinking. What proof do we have of that?
It's not used anywhere important ("killer app"), barely makes the rest of the TIOBE index, along with staples like NATURAL, Alice, BBC Basic, Euphoria, Factor, Forth, and Icon, and has no major force like Google or Mozilla backing it.
It's only us here in HN who keep hearing about it.
Julia has had tons more publicity (even from some major outlets), and it's still going nowhere fast.
