Crystal is a really exciting language: High-level yet very performant, excellent ergonomics for my taste, object-oriented, batteries included, compiles to native code, typed with sophisticated type-inference, a powerful macro system, neat C DSL to easily interface with C, ….

This talk gives an overview of the language, and is intended for programmers with any background.
