Looks like I've got muted in veelenga#222 and awesome-crystal itself. It's a bit of childish to mute a person which has another point of view. However, this is my comment I intended to leave:
@veelenga, we're not nurses. This is a curated list of the best Crystal libraries, not a playground.
veelenga#212 is not a similar example, because JWT is a standard and community's JWT is fully compliant with it (except RSA, which we do not have appropriate candidate yet), while I18n is not standardized and I've offered a different approach (mostly for extensionality). Also all existing I18n libraries were not maintained, while JWT has the last commit dated September 2nd, which is fresh for me. In addition, I was okay to leave the original shard as is, and it was our cooperative decision to remove it.
@drujensen Crystal is not so popular as javascript and probably will never be. I think we don't have to worry about npm hell, at least for now.
I strongly disagree with you. I'm sure Crystal will be essential language in the nearest future and it's our responsibility to keep it clean from the very beginning.
@RX14 you're right about me sometimes being too aggressive, however, I'm always trying to verify my comments with arguments. Regarding to veelenga#222, I have four points, why is it non-constructive?
Summing it up, I'm against the position like everyone, push your Crystal sandbox code to the AWESOME BEST SHARDS list. We could create another repository for this, though.
