Apache Groovy vs. Crystal vs. Python vs. Reviewable Comparison Chart

Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs. Crystal is statically type-checked, so any type errors will be caught early by the compiler rather than fail on runtime. Moreover, and to keep the language clean, Crystal has built-in type inference, so most type annotations are unneeded. All types are non-nilable in Crystal, and available variables are represented as a union between the type and nil. As a consequence, the compiler will automatically check for null references in compile time. Crystal’s answer to metaprogramming is a powerful macro system, which ranges from basic templating and AST inspection to types inspection and running arbitrary external programs.

You've found the right code review tool. Tracks where par­tic­i­pants stand on each dis­cus­sion, en­sur­ing it won't dis­ap­pear un­til re­solved. Fully cus­tomiz­able logic de­ter­mines when a re­view is com­plete. Clearly shows net deltas since last time you looked, even if com­mits got re­based or amended. Batches com­ments and cor­rectly threads email re­sponses. Works only with GitHub and GitHub En­ter­prise, mak­ing for a seam­less in­te­gra­tion. Min­i­mal ad­min busy­work, no ex­tra fluff — just awe­some code re­views. In­stantly diff any two re­vi­sions of a file, in uni­fied or side-by-side style. Hide mi­nor changes: white­space, merge, and re­base deltas. Cus­tomize mar­gin, fonts, col­ors, key­board short­cuts, etc. Jump from a com­ment straight to the right spot in your fa­vorite ed­i­tor. Line com­ments map across file re­vi­sions and stay in place un­til re­solved, not just un­til changes are pushed. Mod­ern, clean UI with a touch of whimsy.
