As I understand it, there are real questions about the type theory needed to correctly express what the BEAM does, and they have yet to be answered sufficiently. Nonetheless, a lot of people clearly want static types in their BEAM applications, and there are certainly parts of any application that don't cross the network. I'm interested in efforts like Caramel and Gleam mostly because of my interest in BEAM as a general-purpose platform, and because I want to see if they come up with solutions to the type theory problems.
