As far as the Core Team is concerned, there won’t be a port to Crystal (or other faster languages) in the near future.  
However, the community is most welcome to experiment with the idea.

One of Jekyll’s strong points is that it is extensible with plugins written in Ruby — a language with high readability and simpler learning curve — allowing users willing to add or enhance functionality to do so with minimal investment.
