2 months ago, I figured out how to make Crystal work on NixOS and made an upstream PR to fix Crystal being unable to find -lpcre. Unfortunately, that change hasn't been merged yet and I even encountered a core dumped error when trying to build Crystal myself recently. Although people may be busy, I am concerned about the popularity of Crystal relative to other languages. It could be the case that the build was broken for so long precisely because no one used Crystal, and that the language isn't popular enough to generate comments on the patch either. In any case, JavaScript/TypeScript is here to stay, and it certainly has better tooling and community support than Crystal at the moment. Deno has been going strong for a few years now, and now that I know Rust, I can also contribute to it if I want to.

Usage
git clone https://github.com/donovanglover/nix-config && cd nix-config

The code base is designed to be small so it's easy to adjust things as needed. Have fun!
