I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. A car might be a great vehicle - but if you work in the ocean then the car is useless.
Crystal looks like a great language, and clearly the developers aren't prioritizing Windows support - that's not a bad thing. But that does mean people who need to be able to use it on Windows have to look elsewhere.

Crystal is barely 5 years old born purely out of side project and free time. In its early days there were other project aiming for the same thing, ( I cant remember what that project was called ) and both author discussed how each of others implementations would not work. There were lots of unknown but just keep grinding when they have spare time.
I dont want to make this like a rant, but from the tone of it, apart from waiting I am not sure what the OP, or in fact 99% of the internet which somehow has this entitlement something needs to be done and they have done nothing about it. Donating would be a start. Even if it is a dollar a month. But as DHH has put it, he would not be surprised the donation only makes it worst because it make people feels more entitled.
