Why Gleam Is the Language Bringing Erlang to the Masses -...

What this episode covers

Gleam is a statically typed language that compiles to Erlang's BEAM virtual machine, bringing the reliability of Erlang and Elixir to developers who prefer a Rust-like type system. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how Gleam's strong types and simple syntax are making BEAM languages accessible to a new generation of programmers. They examine real-world adoption at companies like Bluetau and how Gleam fits into the growing ecosystem of typed functional languages. The episode also covers the language's unique approach to pattern matching, its interop with existing Erlang and Elixir code, and why its v1.0 release in 2025 is gaining traction among developers tired of JavaScript's complexity. #Gleam #Erlang #BEAM #FunctionalProgramming #TypeSystems #Rust #Elixir #Technology #TechPodcast #ProgrammingLanguages #SoftwareDevelopment #StaticTyping #PatternMatching #Bluetau #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
