Gleam v1.8.0 Released

One of the things I love about Gleam and all of the love they are giving to their LSP is that it’s providing a great example of how far you can get without any LLMs. With a strongly typed language you can get very far just using the types and a clear intent.

That’s not to say that LLM assistants aren’t useful, I bet combining these code actions with a LLM to fill the todo would work wel, but that I’m glad to see that people aren’t throwing out existing techniques for consistent code generation.

Still can't get past "Gleam doesn't have loops". I did try to stick with it as the doc suggests, but I guess is a steep transition for me. I like everything else about the language.
