"I want my un-requested PR to be reviewed faster. Should I sent a polite reminder, or even sponsor the maintainer? No, I'll send them a long aggressive message instead!" - some guy in my DMs, for some reason

What might be a better name for "simple one for one" supervisor? aka: supervisor where at-start you give it a process-staring function, and when running you can call `start_child(some_argument)` to have the supervisor use the function to start and supervise a new child instance.

Erlangers! What restart strategy do you use typically for your simple_one_for_one supervisors? 1. permanent 2. transient 3. temporary

Happy 5000th PR/issue to Gleam!

Something up with GitHub Actions? The status page says it's fine, but I keep getting network errors.

Gleam is now supported by a new sponsor: Williams & Holmes. Thank you for contributing to the growth of Gleam!

How does a website protect their users against phishing attacks? Seems really challenging. Having a unique image per-user that is shown on the 2FA page might help? Though getting users to remember that one should be present sounds difficult too.

Another great issue for those who want to dip their toes into the compiler to see how it works: github.com/gleam-lang/g... This one is really straightforward, but it gives you an opportunity to look through how the code flows in the compiler

Oh no I want to make an Obsidian plugin library for Gleam

A singly linked list can be thought of having two constructors: an empty list an element followed by a list They're often called "nil" and "cons" in functional programming. What do other languages call these?

Something is very wrong is happening with the UK government and police force. This isn't normal. No matter what you think of the protestors' beliefs, I think we can all agree that holding up signs outside Parliament in London is not terrorism.

The new database feature of the Obsidian note taking app looks so nice. Once it has a plugin API I could see myself moving a ton of my personal automation into a custom Obsidian plugin.

If I want to test a HTTP server implementation there's h2spec (HTTP2), h3spec (HTTP3), and autobahn (websockets). Is there anything for HTTP1.1? Or SSE?

Stretch goal 2 (inclusion in Erlang/OTP itself) would solve the #1 thing people get stuck on when trying to get started with Gleam or Erlang! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pee...

I don't know the details of this rebar3+OTP improvement project are yet, but it sounds very exciting here! stritzinger.com/kickstarters

Is it a bit confusing that Gleam's GitHub Sponsorship is attached to my account instead of @gleam.run 's? Kinda looks like it all goes to me instead of the project's bank account. It's like this because GH didn't support orgs when I signed up. Should I do the work to change it?

I just published a Gleam library for querying, scraping, and snapshot-testing HTML! github.com/lpil/present...

Anyone have a space in London that the Gleam London meetup can use? Would love somewhere we can have a few short presentations from folks

2025 is a historical year for #GleamLang

The first ever Gleam conference!!!!

Whoa, Gears has made a video overview of Gleam v1.12.0! What a lovely surprise! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYvy...

Gleam v1.12.0 is out now!! 🌟 gleam.run/news/no-more...

The last 8 years have all been working towards this moment

It’s really exciting to hear from Gleam production users! 🔥 “Since go-live, the Gleam code within Strand’s application has been rock-solid. We’ve had zero Gleam-related crashes, and even when there have been issues with other parts of the system, the BEAM has kept everything running”

this is so exciting! if you haven't already, you should really try out Gleam. it's a wonderful language, has a great community, and has second-to-none tooling. you'll be amazed!

I am back to sponsoring @lpil.uk at $20 / month for his amazing work on @gleam.run If you didn't catch it, Gleam was ranked as the #2 most desired programming language from the Stack Overflow survey. Louis's vision, determination, and cultivation of an impressive core team is incredible.

Gleam: The Movie In theatres 2026

Yet again I am wishing @github.com let you email individual sponsors! It would be so useful!

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey! We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

🚨 The Code BEAM Europe 2025 speaker lineup is here! Talks on BEAM, Elixir, AI, LiveView & more from: @lpil.uk ,@elbrujohalcon.bsky.social , Ingela Andin, Erik Stenman, @sannek.bsky.social , Hayleigh Thompson, Ellyse Cedeno, James Harton 🎟 EB tickets still available! codebeameurope.com#keynotes

The gleam takeover is real

Strong Gleam presence at Code BEAM Europe this year: 10 talks coming your way! ⭐ codebeameurope.com

I have always admired the reputation of Erlang and Elixir, but Louis' work building @gleam.run has made that ecosystem approachable. I'm doing coding challenges to learn the language better, rather than game. I am constantly 🤤 over the idea of refactoring work systems. Sponsoring is a no brainer.

There's 10 Gleam talks at CodeBEAM Europe this year!!!! Ahh!!! codebeameurope.com

Is there a way to send a message to individual sponsors on @github.com sponsors? I'd love to be able to send thank-you messages, but I can't find a way to reliably do it.

Gleam sponsorship has been slowly dropping over the last few months. The project is free from influence by any corporation, but it means the team and I need your support! Just a few dollars makes a big difference, so please sponsor if you appreciate Gleam. github.com/sponsors/lpil

Guillaume Hivert, VP of Engineering at Steerlab, shares how being a Gleam business has been the best choice they have made!

Does anyone know how we can get Gleam added as a skill on linkedin?

I enjoyed this clip of Richard Feldman on @changelog.com about how much easier it is to use a new language today in the age of LLMs. Interesting perspective www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsBH...

They should add goto to JavaScript
