This regularly happens with Microsoft's GitHub. You can also opt to not use Bluesky for authentication.

Yes, frustration with GitHub outages certainly made me start to look elsewhere.

I wish! Alas, the Gleam project continues to be under-funded and we have not got a single penny from any venture capital company. If anyone would like to give me a large amount of …

While the way that Tangled is funded is not my preference, I see great potential in atproto for improving the internet. This and and a lot of interest in the Gleam community for th…

Sorry, I don’t know what you mean.

No no, you misunderstand. It doesn't mean the same thing as you imply with your previous comment. Writing is contextual, if one only looks at the literal then one misses the other …

Because that means something else.

We should really remove the cheatsheets, they have not been maintained in many years.

What were the inaccuracies? I'm not aware of any, but we can fix any that are found right away.

Hi, I'm the lead maintainer of Gleam. > I don't know the current state of Gleam OTP, but last I checked it wasn't great. Gleam uses regular OTP, it doesn't have a distinct OTP fram…

Hello! I'm the maintainer of Gleam. We are not rewriting OTP, regular OTP is used in Gleam. Most commonly the typed Gleam APIs for OTP are used, but you can use the untyped Erlang …

It only happens on hacker news. Elsewhere it is not mentioned or it is praised. Gleam does have a formal code of conduct.

Gleam is the same as SQLite, we have some community values on the website but the licence doesn’t exclude anyone from using the software.

How you behave in community spaces is 100% related to the project. I agree, that would be very silly. I don't think you can compare not tolerating racists to mandating a particular…

Sorry, I've been unclear. The runtime behaviour and cost of calling an Erlang function is the same in Elixir and Gleam, however the syntax is more verbose in Gleam as it asks for t…

All open source projects have a political agenda. That's the purpose of the licence, to force certain behaviour.

In a world with package management there’s no practical difference between the core modules being in one package or multiple packages.

All open source projects are political by their very nature.

This is the same as Elixir, you need to specify what Erlang function to use in that language if you want to use Erlang code. The only difference is that Gleam has a more verbose sy…

You can use all the BEAM debuggers and tracing tools, and Gleam has a print debugging keyword. Unfortunately there is not yet a plugin for the BEAM debuggers for them to use Gleam …

SQLite is likely the most widely used production database due to its widespread usage in desktop and mobile software, and SQLite databases being a Library of Congress "sustainable …

I presume they checked out Gleam years ago, or their investigation was more shallow. That aside, it is normal in Elixir to use Erlang OTP directly. Neither Elixir nor Gleam provide…

We've not had any proposals for a design like that. We are open to proposals though! I wrote a blog post detailing the process here: https://lpil.uk/blog/how-to-add-metaprogramming…

OCaml's modules are not implicitly instantiated, so they provide the same DX and APIs as you would get in Gleam. Elixir does have protocols, but they are extremely limited compared…
