They mentioned that they wanted to port their compiler over to retain existing behavior (vs a re-write) and Rust has a hard time with their cyclic data structures.

Ditto, it feels like more people are coming around to the ML style type systems. I'm hoping Gleam will fill the void with a scalable BEAM backend and compiling to JS with Lustre on the frontend (or even just serverside with htmx).

I really rooting for the Riot framework. It's based on the actor model and makes using multi core in OCaml a breeze.

I think they were saying that Gleam was Go of functional programming? OCaml may be like Go compared to Haskell but IMHO Gleam really embraces simplicity and pragmatism.

The one thing that could really push it into "dream language" territory is a sound type system. The Gleam language recently popped up as an up and coming solution to that... It's ReasonML/Javascript like syntax makes it familiar and has a good interop story.

Thanks for the article! I find it really surprising how difficult it is to deploy Elixir apps when it's so much more popular now and the Elixir team is so great at the developer experience.

It's very readable if you've used a typed language before. The <> brackets are like generics.

New comment by adambrod in "Why You Should Stay in Silicon Valley"

adambrod — Thu, 12 May 2016 16:23:10 +0000

I agree, you can spend almost an entire years worth of office rent from the midwest and spend it in a month in Silicon Valley/SF. Sure some people may benefit from the high density of funding but if you're just working on product... why burn through so much? Also off topic but being outside the echo chamber is valuable for most products.
