OMG! This is it 💯

Been waiting for this since 2014, now I can finally say that one of my dreams came true 😄

Thanks to everyone who supported and helped Crystal in any way 🙏
You rock 🤘

I am so excited for this. It is the biggest hurdle for adoption at work.

[LeandroRezendeCoutinho]

Awesome! Long time waiting... Nice job.

[vlazar]

Not complaining or something, but wasn't the plan to have several 1.0.0-pre first for smooth 1.0.0?

I am so excited for this. It is the biggest hurdle for adoption at work.

That seems strange to me. 1.0 is a social construct, not a real guarantee that it's any more or less production ready than 0.1. There are still known bugs, and every 1.0 lang I'm aware of had bugs on release. But Idk.

That seems strange to me. 1.0 is a social construct, not a real guarantee that it's any more or less production ready than 0.1

That is correct, however certain company policies might say no production system should be built on a language or tool that hasn't reached out 1.0, which can me immediately refuted by stating that huge projects like React Native and many others are still in the 0.x versions and constantly used in production (source). 🤷🏽

Policies, fear of the unknown, whatever, I'm just happy to see Crystal putting the 1.0 🏷️(label) 😄

Congratulations Crystal team! 🎉 🥳 👏🏽

[HertzDevil]

Do we need to change the project status too? (especially the part about breaking changes)

[jwaldrip]

Will this ship with Apple silicon support?

[bcardiff]

@jwaldrip There will be no binary distribution for Apple silicon for 1.0. Its support and instructions to compiler a native aarch64 darwin compiler are detailed in #10348

Great, I have been using Crystal since 2019!

[RX14]

Congrats! 🎉

This is well-deserved!

[straight-shoota]

I'd prefer to release 1.0.0-pre first, but the changelog looks fine except for the small typo.

[pirj]

Congrats on the release! Let the crystal shine! ❤️
