  1. …about gleam. I couldn’t find anything as “shoving political ideologies” on their code of conduct https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/blob/main/CODE_OF_CONDUC... Examples?

  3. https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/discussions/3633 About the only argument I find remotely convincing from language devs (Nim is another similar lang) is that they don't want to maintain anything extra. Fair enough. The other arguments…

  7. Oh, strange that github had a date of September 14th, 2016 on this one: https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam/issues/2 I was just going by that. Re: macros, I brought them up because their absence was a reason I wasn’t drawn to the language…

  26. …typed language for BEAM, but it's quite unlike Elixir and it has a much smaller community. https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam . I doubt using eg Phoenix on Gleam is possible, or if it is, whether it's fun. It looks promising though,…
