I can confirm that Crystal lang v1.0.0 is not stable really. I seem to have hit a block. For example, I get error messages like this frequently:

`Error: can't use Hash(K, V) as generic type argument yet, use a more specific type`.

I love the "yet" in this message; it gives you some hope!

    Well, for one, it is an 1.0, that means it's definitely not ready. Or anywhere near it.

    And it's named after a drug so what were you expecting?

    I mean, GanjahScript is stuck in preAlpha since way back in '06, so there is that.

    @ilPinguino I think 1.0.0 should definitely be ready. 0.1.0 should not but release version one is definitely supposed to be ready!

    @AlgoRythm That's how it should be, yeah. But once you call something ready and you first let the unwashed masses use it in ways you never imagined, you're bound to discover some more issues.

    Guess it just means that the syntax and API is stable now. They just haven't implemented everything Yet.

    1.0.0 just means the API is stable, not that it has every possible feature you could ever need...
