Gleam is a beautiful language, and what I wish Elixir would become (re:typing).

For those that don't know its also built upon OTP, the erlang vm that makes concurrency and queues a trivial problem in my opinion.

Absolutely wonderful ecosystem.

I've been wanting to make Gleam my primary language, but I fear LLMs have frozen programming language advancement and adoption for anything past 2021.

But I am hopeful that Gleam has slid just under the closing door and LLMs will get up to speed on it fast.

the Erlang vm is called BEAM, not OTP. sadly, Gleam's implementation of OTP is not at the same level as Elixir's or Erlang.

Gleam uses regular OTP, it doesn’t have a distinct OTP inspired framework. Source: I’m the author of Gleam.

I wonder why so many have got this wrong across this thread? Was it true once upon a time or something, or have people just misunderstood your docs or similar?
