I've used gleam for a toy project in uni, and AoC
My main friction point is that the Int type maps to different concepts in erlang and js
In erlang it's a arbitrary precision Int
In js it the js number type, which is a 64bit float iirc.
Also recursion can hit limits way sooner in js.
For me, my code rarely ran in both js and erlang. But could be skillissue
- okkdev 9mo agoFair, but you usually don't run your project on both, unless you're writing a library. Pick the target that makes sense for your project and stick with it :)
- rkangel 9mo agoJS/TS isn't my favourite language, but it's pretty decent these days. If I'm picking a different language and targeting the web, it's probably because I want to run the same code natively as well.
