> Crystalline begun as a fun project because at the time there was no (working) LSP for
> Crystal, and was written mainly to cater to my own needs. I was happy to
> open-source it and share it with the community because I thought it could be
> useful to others.

> But over time, some vocal people in the Crystal community have been openly
> trash-talking the project in the (un)official discord channel, telling users
> to avoid using it and spreading misinformation, which I am not cool with.
