On: My first impressions of Gleam

[Cyph0n]

I have never seriously used a BEAM language (Elixir/Erlang/Gleam), but for me, it’s the opposite: the most attractive part of Gleam is that it runs on BEAM :)

My reservations at this point are mostly around maturity of the language, the stdlib, and the library ecosystem; although I haven’t been following progress too closely.

[worthless-trash → Cyph0n]

Having done quite a bit of erlang, I think the gleam stdlib learned quite a bit from erlang and elixir and hasn't fallen into some of the same traps.

This allows things like the pipe operator |> to be a little saner.
