If you want type systems, you can probably work with Gleam, in the future, I imagine there could be great interop where you can just drop in a .gleam file in your elixir code base with zero hassle attached, and have parts of your code base that are completely type safe, and let Elixir handle all the risks of IO and other effects.
But, this might just be my wishful thinking.
- mindfulmore 5y agoI've kept an eye on Gleam. Essentially all of the programming I do is based around the web so I'm kind hoping a web framework shows up at some point.
- QuinnWilton 5y agoFor what it's worth, I spoke last year about using Gleam to develop a type-safe core for a LiveView application: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCIcJBM_YDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCIcJBM_YDw I think that what you're looking for is already possible today, and that things only get easier over time.
- pdimitar 5y agoI agree it's possible. The pertinent question is: how easy and ergonomic it is to do? Friction kills good innovation very often.
