Gleam is a different language, so just because macros are the most important feature in Elixir doesn't mean that their absence in Gleam will be a problem. There's a lot to like about Elixir as a language, but the BEAM is great in its own right and a static language on the BEAM can stand on its own, not just an "Elixir but without macros".
