It is difficult for me to fathom why the #Gleam #programming language is far less popular than JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Rust, Kotlin, Swift, ....

I'm not claiming that Gleam is inherently better than these popular languages, nor that its ecosystem is more mature—it isn't. But I'm asserting that Gleam is at least as pleasant to use as any of them, and it deserves at least some attention, if not some love, from us #programmers.

Gleam is an FP in the ML family. It targets JavaScript VM and Erlang BEAM VM. Hence, Gleam is a useful, resilient, performant systems programming language. Above all, it can be learned in a matter of hours.

I like all #programming languages. I like even more those languages that an experienced #programmer could learn in a few hours, like #Elm, #TypeScript, #Gleam, and a few other similar ones.

I am not claiming that these languages will make all jaded programmers happy, for each has its own set of pluses and minuses. I am simply pointing out that "unquantifiable something" in their design that makes these languages easier to take up.

That "something" could well be #simplicity. The designers of these little languages seem to be more concerned with making the language users' lives easier through simplicity, instead of with impressing other language designers through complexity. This is also the same philosophy behind FORTRAN, LISP, C, and Smalltalk. And I would add ML, MATLAB, and Go to this list, too.

If I had to describe Gleam in word, it would be this:

Lovely.

GOTO Conferences | InvidiousA Code Centric Journey Into the Gleam Language • Giacomo Cavalieri • GOTO 2024This presentation was recorded at GOTO Copenhagen 2024. #GOTOcon #GOTOcph https://gotocph.com Giacomo Cavalieri - Gleam Core Team Member @giacomo_cavalieri RESOURCES https://bsky.app/profile/giacomocavalieri.me https://twitter.com/giacomo_cava https://giacomocavalieri.me https://github.com/giacomocavalieri Links https://gleam.run https://tour.gleam.run https://exercism.org/tracks/gleam ABSTRACT In this talk we’ll embark on a journey to discover Gleam: a “friendly language for building type-safe systems that scale!” We’ll learn about the design philosophy underpinning it, what does it even mean for a programming language to be friendly, and what’s the ace up Gleam’s sleeve that enables you to write highly concurrent and fault tolerant systems. This talk is for everyone and by the end of it you’ll have all you need to keep your Gleam journey going and become a true Gleamlin!

My first time trying Tailwind today (with Lustre). I was able to whip out a pretty decent UI with much less work than usual, though my "usual" is from scratch. Tailwind seems to have pretty sensible defaults, but it sure takes time to find out all the class names since they're kind of arbitrarily named. I'm quite happy with this from the hands of a terrible designer.

All in all, I might just continue using it for my small personal projects. So far it has been fun.

Ah yes, #Gleam #v1.9.0, the monumental release where we're all thrilled to hear about... print debugging? 🎉 Because nothing screams "cutting-edge" like dumping some variables in 2025! 🚀 In a world of #AI and quantum computing, Gleam bravely champions the art of "echo Hello" like it's 1999. 🙃

➤ Gleam v1.9.0 新特性介紹
gleam.run/news/hello-echo-hell
Gleam v1.9.0 正式發布。這個版本引入了新的 echo 語法來改善調試體驗,並支援 Git 依賴、改善 JavaScript 的位元陣列以及優化清單模式匹配等功能。此外,新增的代碼動作如 JSON 編碼器生成器和內聯變數功能,簡化了編碼過程。
+ 這次更新的 echo 語法太棒了!讓我輕鬆進行調試。
+ 能夠直接從 Git 依賴也很方便,非常期待使用這些新功能!
