Goroutines are roughly 2kb in memory, and Crystal fibers are roughly 4KB, which is insane in any regard. I think Crystal is really interesting and worth considering, especially if you want something native that has OOP, I really would love to see Crystal used more in general.

That is especially insane, when we consider that "B" means "bytes" while "b" means "bits", and "kb" means 1,000 bits, while "KB" means 1,024 bytes (8,192 bits)!
