Gleam (programming language)

Gleam is a statically typed functional programming language created by Louis Pilfold, first released in 2019, that compiles to Erlang bytecode for the BEAM virtual machine or to JavaScript, giving it direct access to the Erlang and Elixir ecosystem's fault-tolerant, highly concurrent runtime alongside a modern, strongly typed syntax with type inference. Gleam positions itself as a friendly, approachable entry point to BEAM-based concurrent programming, emphasizing helpful compiler error messages and a small, consistent core language over the more flexible but dynamically typed Erlang and Elixir.
