I had been only following this language with some interest, I guess this was born in gitlab not sure if the creator(s) still work there. This is what I'd have wanted golang to be (albeit with GC when you do not have clear lifetimes).

But how would you differentiate yourself from https://gleam.run which can leverage the OTP, I'd be more interested if we can adapt Gleam to graalvm isolates so we can leverage the JVM ecosystem.

While I indeed worked for GitLab until 2021, Inko's development began before I joined GitLab, and GitLab wasn't involved in it at all.

Inko was hosted on GitLab for a while (using their FOSS sponsorship plan), but I moved it back to GitHub as to make contributing easier and to increase visibility. As much as I prefer GitLab, the sad reality is that by hosting a project there you'll make it a lot harder for people to report bugs, submit patches, or even just find out about your project in the first place. I could go on for a long time how GitLab really wasted its chances with taking over GitHub, but that's for another time :)
