- lordofgibbons 2y agoI have good news for you, Gleam, built on top of Erlang, supports sum types
- snowboarder63 2y agoYeah I do lol. It was the big motivation since we were writing more and more rust and missed the concurrency model. Please feel free to ping me for any further questions It's come a long way since it started and I'm thrilled I can talk about it publicly now and it's usage at Meta (some at least lol).
