Honestly, it just sort of happened. I think we never imagined Crystal would make it this far. It started as an experiment to see what compiled Ruby would look like. The next thing we knew there were a few people crazy enough to try it and report issues. One day someone posted it to Reddit and people got interested. Step by step.
From time to time someone from the community says "hey, it'd be cool to have X, would you mind if I do it?" and we're like "Yes, go for it!". Then if the thing picks up steam we link it from the official site. I think that happened with reddit, the chatroom, gitter, etc.
For example, recently a group of crystallers joined forces and created github.com/crystal-lang-tools to tackle all editor support projects under the same umbrella. They let us know and we transferred our Sublime plugin. That's great because we currently have more on our plates than we can manage!

Thanks for sharing the organic nature of this sounds super fun. Would you say that Crystal is beginner friendly regarding Open Source Contributions?
It definitely is! We are a small yet really friendly community which is always open for everyone.
Please feel free to join our Gitter channel gitter.im/crystal-lang/crystal :)
Thanks Serdar, will do. I've been looking for a friendly Open Source community to get involved with.
"a few people crazy enough" that makes big difference :)
