I prefer Crystal because it's a really expressive language (similar to Ruby) but has the advantage of being compiled (like C). I prefer compiled languages for the server because they are usually faster, and can be deployed with a single binary.
I really wish fast, compiled, low-memory languages were more widely used on the server. Crystal sounds very promising in this regard :-)
