* '''Keep''' Crystal is niche, but not an esolang. It's been in active development for a number of years, accumulating 13558 stars on GitHub. There are currently [https://crystalshards.org/ 4605 libraries registered for it]. It's significantly more popular than e.g. [[Elm (programming language)|Elm]]. It's taught on [[Exercism|Exercism.io]]. It seems to be tracked on the TIOBE index. Describing the authors of ''Programming Crystal'' as not being developers appears to be false. As a programmer, it's hard to imagine the criteria by which one could reasonably exclude Crystal from Wikipedia. [[User:Tenebrous|Tenebrous]] ([[User talk:Tenebrous|talk]]) 04:20, 23 July 2019 (UTC)

** Wikipedia cares more about works published about the subject by third parties than usually any form of intrinsic notability. I wasn't referring to the authors of Programming Crystal as not being programmers, but rather as not being developers of Crystal, and thus independent of the subject. (In this set of DRs, there were specific mention of that, IIRC, that I was responding to.)--[[User:Prosfilaes|Prosfilaes]] ([[User talk:Prosfilaes|talk]]) 15:09, 23 July 2019 (UTC)
