You mean at least a year younger ?
Rust

I guess. It probably would have been better to say they're about the same age. I went by Rust's first pre-alpha release, maybe I should have used an earlier event.
Example: Last time I checked couldn't find a firebase library for Rust, so gave up on it.
Rust seems a bit immature in the library department no? But didn't stop it becoming popular. I bet Crystal will do the same.
