What do you use it for? Do you use any frameworks like wisp, lustre etc? Any experience to share?

I would like to see that too. I have been using Elixir for projects with good results.

But I like Gleam's syntax and the idea of having compile time type checks.

Are you using Elixir (Phoenix) for web apps? Also, isn't Elixir getting types?

It is getting types but as an after thought, so i still don't like that much how that's done. Better than not having though

I used to build webapps, and currently working on building a database
