Fair enough. In your opinion, is Gleeunit sufficient as a testing framework for Gleam or is it a work in progress which is also understandable as the language is still relatively y…

Gleeunit seems a bit sparse. I just see a few functions. For example how do I do mocks? Is this the the whole testing story assuming I am not targeting JS?

I have been using Elixir for about a year and the only problems I have found is the much smaller ecosystem. It's still a niche language. This means you may be the first one to enco…

Maybe am mistaken but isn't a language that hasn't reached version 1 by its nature supposed to have breaking changes. It is expected that while you can use the language for your pr…
