It looks nice, but from a usability perspective it could make an educated guess about what platform the viewer is using and perhaps emphasize choices that are more likely to be relevant.

Crystal is a Ruby inspired compiled language, allowing it to run blazingly fast with a very low memory footprint. It uses LLVM for emitting native code, thus making use of all the optimisations built into the toolchain.<p>Website: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crystal-lang.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;crystal-lang.org&#x2F;</a><p>Github: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;crystal-lang&#x2F;crystal" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;crystal-lang&#x2F;crystal</a>

This seems like typical minimalist design. Sure, it&#x27;s not a bad concept at all, but there&#x27;s nothing surprising here.<p>On the other hand, the excessive margins are making the page less functional as it should. The download section also lack emphasis, and given that using the same amount of space for all the distros&#x2F;platforms that is not at all proportional to the amount of users using them, I would say that&#x27;s a poor design.

Crystal is amazing and one of my favourite language, it&#x27;s just a shame the community is so small.
