No lifetimes, absolutely no plans to add anything similar. We’re nothing like rust!

They're kind of solving different problems. It's a bit like TypeScript vs Elm or PureScript: one is a type system overlaid onto an existing language with its own rich ecosystem and…

hello fellow print debugging enjoyer, rejoice!

Lustre (hi, author here) has isomorphic components so you can render components both on the client or as realtime LiveView-esque things on the server, which I think is what the com…

I think the author might have a debug build enabled. If you open the console you can see timing information logged. Loading the introduction page of the docs [0] logs... [Debug] Ho…

The variant inference in this release is a feature I wish more functional languages had. You know what variant something inside this pattern match branch is, compiler, I just prove…

Most folks are using Gleam to do full stack Web stuff. Because Gleam compiles to both Erlang and JavaScript it ends up being a pretty nice experience.

"This is my favourite release!" - person who contributed heavily to the release :3

Author of Lustre here! Yeah I agree, lack of a robust headless component library like radix-ui or react-aria is such a mark against Elm. I think it's even more important for Lustre…

> Is it fair to call Gleam an Erlang with modern syntax and a HM type system? Kinda. There's a fair amount similar but things like message passing are implemented as a library in g…

Hey there, I maintain a library a called lustre [0] that does similar things to liveview. The linked docs are the API reference, but there's not currently a guide or a robust examp…

Gleam doesn't have auto currying! Often folks find this (currying) a bit confusing to wrap their head around when learning functional programming and we don't feel like it really a…
