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.

Elixir is slowly rolling out set-theoretic typing: https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/main/gradual-set-theoretic-types.h...

I dunno, my unfounded guess is that gradual type systems are super complex and very hard to get right.

Why use something complex and half working, when you can have the real thing?
