I've kept an eye on Gleam. Essentially all of the programming I do is based around the web so I'm kind hoping a web framework shows up at some point.

Curious, do you use typespecs and dialyzer? If so, how do you find it? Elixir checks pretty much every box I'd want in a language, but after dealing with nil in Ruby for years and having fun with TypeScript... I'm feeling more dra

The article doesn't even discuss benchmarking Ruby against other languages, so I'm not really sure what you're on about. Couldn't resist taking a performance jab at Rails? Also, I'll take "double the hardware s
