Gleam is a new statically-typed functional programming language designed for building robust, scalable systems on the Erlang VM (BEAM). 🌟 Key features:

• Leverages BEAM's concurrency, fault-tolerance, and distributed computing capabilities
• Powerful type system inspired by ML languages for fast feedback
• Aims to help BEAM programmers tackle large, unfamiliar codebases
• Explicit error handling, with BEAM's fault-tolerance for unexpected errors

Gleam is actively developed with a growing community, recently adding code formatting and documentation generation. The focus is now on building type-safe processes and OTP.
