One thing im wondering with the LLM age we seem to be entering: is there value in picking up a language like this if theres not going to be a corpus of training data for an LLM to learn from? Id like to invest the time to learn Gleam, but I treat a language as a tool, or a means to an end. I feel like more and more I'm reaching for the tool to get the job done most easily, which are languages that LLMs seem to gel with.

I recently built something in Hare (a very niche new language), and Claude Code was helpful. No where near as good as it is with TypeScript. But it was good enough that I don’t LLMs being in the top 5 reasons a language would fail to get adopted.
