Gleam: a type safe language on the Erlang VM
Summary: Gleam is a friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems, running on the Erlang virtual machine. It combines the power of a type system, functional programming, and a highly concurrent, fault-tolerant runtime with a modern syntax. Gleam offers a multi-core actor-based concurrency system, fast immutable data structures, and a concurrent garbage collector. It comes with a compiler, build tool, formatter, editor integrations, and package manager. Gleam programs can use thousands of published packages from the BEAM ecosystem, and it can compile to JavaScript, enabling code use in browsers or other JavaScript environments.
