Telegram Bot API framework written in Crystal. Based heavily off of Telegraf this Crystal implementation allows your Telegram bot to be written in a language that's both beautiful and fast. Benchmarks coming soon.
If you want to extend your bot by using NLP, see my other library Cadmium.
Add this to your application's shard.yml:
dependencies:

github: protoncr/tourmaline

Examples are available in the examples folder.
Just for README purposes though, let's look at the echo bot example:
require "tourmaline"
class EchoBot < Tourmaline::Client
@[Command("echo")]
def echo_command(ctx)
ctx.message.reply(ctx.text)
end
end
bot = EchoBot.new(bot_token: ENV["API_KEY"])
