Elixir is all in on being an OTP language, and is a friend, not competitor, to Erlang (go ahead, call one from the other freely, the only friction is that module name atoms look a little weird in the other language). Gleam is not entirely foreign but it sets itself further apart; it's all in on cloning Rust. (Elixir's set-theoretic type system is _not_ a constructor-soup ML deal, by the way. The people who talk about "static type systems" now are people who caught the ML bug and think "is like ML" equals "types", and they will not find it satisfying, just like they don't find existing Dialyzer types satisfying. So that's the niche for Gleam.)
