I respect that Giacomo speaks to a mostly empty room as one would to fully packed Carnegie hall. He really cares and I hope this talk will reach a wider audience online. Gleam (and the speakers effort) deserve it.

I'm definitely excited about gleam. Thanks for this informative talk!

Thank you Mark!! 💜

Maybe the main strength of Gleam is it's core team and not the language itself. And the language is really awesome. Their talks are always great.

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Thank you! I’m really happy you enjoyed it, and yeah core team folks are great ❤

[@MichielVlootman]

Thank you for a great presentation Giacomo!

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Thanks!! 💖

[@tommaisey9069]

Nice job! I'll be pointing anyone who expresses interest in Gleam directly to this video :)

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Thank you!! Thats great 💖

Elegant and simple and definitely want to explore. Good for simple data oriented programming. But without enterprise adoption it's tough to get it going.

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

@@MrKar18 people are already starting to use gleam in production! We will get there, I’m sure 😊

[@sososo3906]

That's a nice collection of the features i need from a programming language

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Yeah I feel the same! Louis has done such an amazing job with Gleam's design

[@pookiepats]

Also Lustre = a better Elm so it a godsend for old Elm fans

[@sososo3906]

@@pookiepats i am checking Lustre and Elm, looks like it makes Elm readable

[@PaulSebastianM]

Heavyly inspired by Rust, clearly. And I like that.

[@pookiepats]

More like OCAML, literally uses its specialized operators +. But not everyone knows Rust started as an OCAML dialect

[@tymak_cz]

Great talk. I have one question. Lets say I will write my server app in Gleam and I am not decided if I want to compile to erlang + BEAM or javascript + nodejs. But the these two languagues have very different concurrency model. Should I think about about that when writing the code or the compiler will handle it for me?

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Hello and great question! You’re totally right in the observation, the concurrency models of the two runtimes are really different and any piece of code that relies on one of the two will only be able to compile for that specific target, the compiler will make sure that you don’t mix the two up though

[@tigranrostomyan9231]

Great talk, you are an amazing speaker!

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Thank you! 💜

[@glob514]

Another great talk Jak!

[@giacomo_cavalieri]

Thanks Glob!!

Thanks to AI, we have come to call types pair programmers... 😂😂😂 We're a funny species... Developers...

[@dko1905]

Static compile time checking has *nothing* to do with AI/LLM's.

Gleam doesn't offer distribution!!!
