Gleam News
What is Gleam?
Gleam is a friendly, statically-typed language for building robust, type-safe systems that run on the battle-tested Erlang VM (BEAM). 💎 It combines:
- Concurrency, fault-tolerance & distributed computing capabilities of BEAM
- Fast feedback loop through powerful ML-inspired type system
- Explicit error handling with "let it crash" philosophy
Gleam aims to help BEAM programmers tackle larger, unfamiliar codebases. With an active community and focus on developer productivity, Gleam is worth keeping an eye on! 👀
