Hi, I’m Louis! I’m the the Gleam programming language guy.
It’s common for people to ask “will Gleam get metaprogramming?”. It’s a good question! A question that has a relatively complex answer, one that takes time to give. This post is an attempt to condense this conversation I’ve had many times into one document so that folks can get their answer more easily.
Hi, I’m Louis! Creator of the Gleam programming language and software tinker.
For the last few months I’ve been working with the Erlang Ecosystem Foundation and the Exercism team to create a Gleam syllabus for the Exercism platform, and as of this morning the final lesson has gone live!
I was talking to Josh over at Alembic and he mentioned that he was interested in taking advantage of Gleam’s compile-to-JavaScript capability and using it to make a front end for an Elixir Phoenix app. What a great idea!
The recently released Gleam v0.22 includes a new command to prepare a Gleam application for deployment. With this in mind I thought it would be a good time to show how deploy Gleam into production with my new favourite platform, Fly.io.
So I’ve been gearing up to write some guides on how to deploy Gleam web applications, but I wasn’t sure what platform I should use.
It’s time for another Gleam release! This time as well as taking a look at what’s new in the compiler, we’re going to take a look at what’s new in the wider Gleam ecosystem too.
Version v0.10 of the Gleam programming language has been released! Let's take a look at what's new.
Version v0.9 of the Gleam programming language has been released! Let's take a look at what's new.
