Abstract: Crystal tries to combine the simplicity to write software of Ruby with the performance of C. This presentation aims to show performance comparisons of Crystal with the programming languages Ruby, C and Go. This is done by using different example programs that use specific parts used in real world applications. Those include iterative and recursive implementations of the Fibonacci sequence, reading and writing files, listening to sockets, as well as calling a method written in C. The results show that Crystal can be considered a fast programming language. While C with all optimisations of gcc is still faster, the performance of Crystal is comparable with Go. As expected is Ruby, with just-in-time (JIT) compilation or without, by a factor of 8 respectively 9 slower than Crystal.
