@b4ux1t3 #Crystal is not very popular, but worth a shot. Some people could point at #Nim as well. There was a time #Kotlin could be natively statically compiled, but I don't think JetBrains maintains this.
From the museum you could try #Ada or #Fortran - modern one is supposedly very nice language (I haven't tried).
Nice read! @mamantoha published a short and nice

I just noticed that NATS 2.11 was released last week. The feature I've been waiting for is per-message TTLs, so I just added support for them to my Crystal NATS client.

Cutting out regexes made Armature's path matching over 30x faster. 
Routing a request to an endpoint in 6µs is good, but doing it in under 190ns is a lot better!

Thanks for the input.
The bigger the framework, the harder the upgrades. Back in the day, I never expected to see talks about just upgrading or maintaining projects (ActiveRecord encryption + ActiveStorage).
Today, upgrading my simple Rails API to Rails 8 was a pain. So I set a goal — before Rails 9, I’m switching to minimalistic #Crystal and its Web frameworks. No more #Rails 
.
It was a good ride for almost 20 years.
