https://gleam.run/ https://gleam.run/ - Gleam is a friendly language for building type-safe systems that scale!
- fzeindl 1y agoWhat is the benefit over Elixir?
- jesperwe 1y agoStrong typing built in from the start. More approachable syntax (unless you are used to Ruby).
- filmor 1y agoStatic typing. Elixir already has strong typing (no implicit conversions).
- isodev 1y agoStatic type checking and Gleam can compile to JavaScript. Gleam and Elixir can be mixed in the same project too, so it’s easy to start adding Gleam to an elixir code base or use Elixir libraries in Gleam.
- victorbjorklund 1y agoAs an elixir dev I'm jealous that gleam can transpile to JS as a target. Must make so interesting things possible.
- oDot 1y agoIndeed! Please check out this project I made to basically make the server an extension of the front end by having it reply to client side ui messages: https://github.com/weedonandscott/omnimessage https://github.com/weedonandscott/omnimessage
- jamauro 1y agoFor elixir, check out https://hologram.page/ https://hologram.page/
- victorbjorklund 1y agoYea, I have seen that and its an interesting library but doesnt feel as integrated as in Gleam
- bartblast 1y agoCould you elaborate on what you mean by "not as integrated as in Gleam"? Are you referring to Hologram being a framework/library rather than a language-level feature? Or is it more about the developer experience - like tooling, compilation workflow, or how seamlessly it fits into the Elixir ecosystem compared to Gleam's native JS transpilation? I'd love to understand your perspective better so we can potentially improve that integration feel!
