Compilers and command line tools are for sure good fits. But we have also create bots (slack / twilio / telegram), some other microservices and small web apps with some UI.

Comparing to Rails, there is for sure a lot things to cover. ORM and a smooth assets management would be my top 2 things that I would like to see solved / documented and avoid reinventing the wheel in order to start participating more in the web apps market.

Depending on your interest crystal could be good enough for game dev, using c libs in a more friendly way, and data science.
