This is exactly what I want from Gleam. It does seem to be under documented and abandoned. Is there any understanding of why? Like you say, this seems like a super power. I see so much potential. A language that’s ergonomic, pragmatic as the author says, great performance, low-ish barrier to entry, etc. It seems like it could be an awesome tool for building highly reliable software that’s not so difficult to maintain.
- cassepipe 2y agoIt is a very young language that may explain the why
- lpil 2y agoIt is not abandoned, I am the maintainer. The documentation covers the APIs of the package but not the “zen” of the wider OTP framework, for that the official OTP documentation and existing books are recommended.
- atemerev 2y agoOK, thanks! I will try to write something with it and perhaps come help with the documentation.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoThat’s great information, thanks. I seem to recall checking the commit history and it didn’t seem dead, but I’m also accustomed to experimental packages being dropped early and often. Do you want help with maintenance or are you doing this independently?
- lpil 2y agoContributions are very much welcome! Gleam is entirely a community project.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoI'm not at that level yet, but I'd love to if I get there. I look at projects like these and wonder what the hell I've been doing with my career. Thanks for the invite!
