Gleam is a great language. It didn't click for me when I was trying it out, but I'm glad to see more people enjoying it.

And I wonder if Gleam + Lustre could become the new Elm.

As a mostly back end dev Elm looked really nice but all the conflict with the creator and then the lack of compiler releases made me shy away a bit.

I have bumped into "the Elm architecture" in other projects though and it was nice.

Yeah I'm not a front end dev but I do kind of keep track of what's going on in that space. From what I saw it seemed Elm was all but dead. Maybe that's not true, but that was the impression from the outside looking in.

I can't believe this is still up tbh. And I can't believe there's still people defending Elm's lack of development

> It’s true that there hasn’t been a new release of the Elm compiler for some time. That’s on purpose: it’s essentially feature-complete.

Last talk I saw by Evan Czaplicki (from the 2025 Scala Days conf) he seemed to be working on some sort of database language https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OtN4iiFBsQ

I get the sentiment. He feels like everything he wants is there so it doesn't need much more development. But it still feels off.
