Yes, they are very different. It's not splitting the ecosystem though as the vast majority of Gleam programmers are not former Elixir, Erlang, or LFE programmer

Yes, they are very different. It's not splitting the ecosystem though as the vast majority of Gleam programmers are not former Elixir, Erlang, or LFE programmers, it's people coming from other ecosystems. Gleam grows the BEAM ecosystem by bringing people in from elsewhere who were not interested in writing Elixir, Erlang, or LFE. > I must admit that I find that fairly bizarre. What do you imagine the source of that lack of desire is? They're just very different languages to work with. The programming experience is very different.
