By
Alupis
Tired, dry, slightly forgotten on the back of the tray.
Summary
Gleam is a programming language that combines a type system, functional programming expressiveness, and the Erlang runtime's concurrency and fault tolerance capabilities with modern syntax. The article provides code examples demonstrating basic I/O operations and concurrent message passing between processes, and mentions that Gleam comes with built-in tools including compiler, build tool, formatter, editor integrations, and package manager.
