Supercharged Labels – Gleam v1.4.0

It's not just a matter of taste; we used to deal with language particulars which were objectively hard for humans to adhere to, for no good reason. No one seriously advocated for semi-colons as a matter of aesthetic preference.
Gleam just looks like a modern language. It looks like it was made for humans to deal with, given what we now know about the human visual system, memory, habit formation, etc.
The limitations are explained at the bottom of this page. https://hexdocs.pm/gleam_otp/
I hope Gleam will find more sponsors for Louis and the core contributors, especially one from a stable company !
On this side, have you thought about publishing paid educational content to both pay the bill and still contribute to Gleam’s growth ? I don’t know for others but I would love to pay for something like Luca Palmieri’s book Zero To Production in Rust but in Gleam !
I only needed only a subset of the spec, but with a negotiated subprotocol. I couldn't find a client library that worked for this in the browser, they all depended on node.
Normally I would write this in rescript, which has the same type system and ML heritage, and which I still love. But my sense is that rescript is floundering and gleam is growing in popularity & capability, so I'm eyeing gleam for an eventual replacement.
