Episode 72: Gleam's Core Team in the House!

Beam Radio

Show Notes

The BeamRadio panel chats all things Gleam with the core team Louis Pilford and Hayleigh Thompson!

Gleam's approach to concurrency and its focus on type safety make it an interesting choice for Erlang/Elixir developers looking to leverage the benefits of static typing while maintaining the performance and concurrency model of the BEAM VM. The language's development is ongoing, with the community actively contributing to its growth and the expansion of its ecosystem.
