I'm waiting for a chance to try out Crystal/Amber, which is type-checked (not sure how safe?) and can be pre-compiled like Go apps. It looks really close to Rails:

https://github.com/ChangJoo-Park/amber-realworld-example-app...

(I couldn't find any code snippets on the official Amber framework page, I hope this is representative.)



Crystal/Amber combination is such a joy to work with, it's too bad it's not more popular, I'm contributing a bit to the project sometimes and use it for personal stuff. I regret it's not that trendy because it's the best web experience I ever had.


Crystal is definitely type safe, I’d recommend taking a look at the Lucky web framework also written in Crystal.


Kemal is great, too. Though, IIRC, it's more akin to Sinatra.
