Glyn: Type-safe PubSub and Registry System for Gleam Actors with Distributed Clustering
By
TheWiggles
An everything bagel for the brain. Substantive, layered, well-seasoned.
Summary
Glyn is a type-safe PubSub and Registry system for Gleam actors that provides distributed clustering support, built on the Erlang Syn library. It offers two complementary systems for actor communication that integrate seamlessly with Gleam's actor model using selector composition patterns. The library requires explicit decoders to ensure type safety when messages are sent between nodes in a cluster, and messages are sent directly as Erlang terms rather than JSON encoded.
