Gleam Gathering 2027 is announced and a clutch of blog posts in this issue of Gleam Weekly. gleamweekly.com/issues/91/

I've been thinking a lot about side effects. Gleam doesn't have any extensible data types so I had been working with an unsatisfactory solution. Now I've read up on continuations properly I think I have a satisfactory solution. crowdhailer.me/2026-07-15/a... Let me know how good my explanation is.

Not quite weekly but the new issue of Gleam news is here. gleamweekly.com/issues/90/

A great selection of lightning talks to finish up the recordings from Gleam Gathering. youtu.be/rh2ePzHIQmU

Rounding up the final Gleam Gather talks plus more fun stuff. In this weeks Gleam Weekly. gleamweekly.com/issues/89/

This is a good insight into writing Gleam and a fun roundup of the first Gleam Chess competition youtu.be/D_HaX_O1TAo

Jump inside the Lustre runtime with Rebecca. youtu.be/_CNcl7beTeY

I took some time to try and explain why I built EYG (Eat Your Greens) they way I did. The essential idea is to remove some things that are pain points to developers but total blockers to makers. crowdhailer.me/2026-06-08/a...

I'm seeing more presentations/blogs about adding firm boundaries for AI code development. i.e. banning `any` with linting If you're restricting your agents to a subset of typescript I think you're looking for gleam.run

Could WebAssembly be in Gleam 's future? youtu.be/UQ0--ODjiDk

The next two Gathering talks, one from the illustrious leader. gleamweekly.com/issues/88/

Gleam for finance, in space, sorta. youtu.be/hDebQpja5tc

Louis talks about the crazy 2 years since Gleam 1.0 youtu.be/iMHVglCQyf0

Over the last few weeks I've focused on making the EYG CLI ergonomic to use. This includes new commands and new flags, better output and easier installation. This an more in the latest EYG news. eyg.run/news/edition...

Writing guides for eyg.run while waiting for a rocket to launch. I'm enjoying my Friday evening.

New EYG guide: access policies for CLI effects. Run scripts with permissions around `Fetch` and file IO: allow directory reads, restrict hosts, cap bytes, deny deletion, or mock effects for tests. github.com/CrowdHailer/...

Two more terrific talks from the Gathering.

youtu.be/wVQLEAHrwrI A tale as old as time. "Programmer finds Gleam, Programmer write new language" Let's talk compilers

Prebuilt release of the eyg cli is now available. github.com/CrowdHailer/...

eyg.run can now be run a script, shell or pure expression. It's extensible record type make a single entry point very easy to specify.

Like trains? Like Gleam? This is the video for you. youtu.be/gq2-eR10vn8

We share the first video from the Gleam Gathering conference, in this issue of Gleam Weekly. gleamweekly.com/issues/86/

An unreasonably practical update for EYG. eyg.run/news/edition... You might be able to tell that I'm automating more of my own workflow and filling in the needed gaps on CLI functionality.

I like the flag `--dangerously-skip-permissions` I think it has exactly the right amount of panic. For that reason I run all my agents on a dedicated VPS. Working with them just takes a git workflow and their own bot account. crowdhailer.me/2026-05-11/r...

Writing a structural editor for an excellent experience hand crafting software really seems like pushing against the tide of AI generation. But here we are, Just finished a large refactor of EYG internals to keep pushing the structural editor forwards.

Gleam gets everywhere. Guide for a full stack Gleam application kicks of this week issue. gleamweekly.com/issues/85/

I'm trying to write more about how I work with Gleam. My test setup for a real project seems like a good place to start. crowdhailer.me/2026-04-21/g...

It's here! gleam_stdlib v1 released!

Latest commit "implement ralph loop". Well it is 2026. Ralph is a memory management strategy (as apposed to chat thread) and to me it makes sense to bake that into the harness. Are there any more memory strategies with good names? github.com/CrowdHailer/...

Write Gleam in Gleam, or GH Actions in Gleam, or EYG in Gleam. There's always another compiler in Gleam land. Issue 84 of Gleam Weekly is here. gleamweekly.com/issues/84/

EYG now has a Cli interpreter, and compiler aaaand REPL. I made a video about it. vimeo.com/1182744566?s...

EYG is easy to run in lots of places, except I never wrote any documentation. "Embedding EYG in Gleam programs" is the first guide to fix that omission. Gleam is a great host language targeting multiple runtimes, EYG makes well isolated scripts easy. github.com/CrowdHailer/...

Libraries for images, splines and certificate management. Great times gleamweekly.com/issues/83/

I'm impressed with the amount of libraries released this week, we even have one for getting Gleam on microcontrollers. gleamweekly.com/issues/82/

EYG is now open source. This first EYG newsletter in a year also, has to, make a little comment about the AI elephant in the room. eyg.run/news/edition...

Gleam 1.15 is here, tail calls explained and making illegal states unrepresentable. Gleamweekly issue 81 is ready for your inbox. gleamweekly.com/issues/81/

The Gleam community go ham on writing libraries. We have libraries for PDF, thermal printers, QR codes and static site generation. We also have the first write up of the inaugural Gleam Gathering. Issue 80 of Gleam weekly hot off the press. gleamweekly.com/issues/80/

Another milestone achieved: Gleam had its first conference! Thank you, @crowdhailer.bsky.social and Laura, for organising the #GleamGathering 2026 and bringing together dozens of Gleamlins in one place 🩷

Talks from FOSDEM and a Gnome based explainer, all in this weeks issue of Gleam Weekly. gleamweekly.com/issues/79/

This week's newsletter has the Gleam Gathering keynote announced. Louis will be bringing us a keynote looking backwards and forwards in the Gleam timeline. gleamweekly.com/issues/78/

Dusting off some CSS skill, I'm somewhat pleased with the results. This is my prototype for users being able to sign package releases using WebAuthN. Trying to get to a decentralized as is sensible package infrastructure.

A bumper newsletter after the Christmas holidays. We have the latest release the 2025 Developer survey and a bounty of blogs and libraries. gleamweekly.com/issues/76/

vimeo.com/1151688303 EYG now has relative references and an IDE for multiple "files" of code. I'm using this IDE to improve the standard and JSON libraries much faster than before. Demo shows how effects can be used to scope external service calls.

Algebraic effects are a great language feature. I keep finding new uses for them. Here we have a specific effect for DNSimple that is handled to a generic Fetch call. Keeps tokens out of application code. Adding proxy or stubbing in tests is also trivial

The density of this line-up and schedule is beautiful. Should be awesome. What was that famous quote? I'm sorry about the duration of my events. If I had more time I'd make them shorter.. I think that was it. gleamgathering.com#schedule #goatadmire

The week's Gleam Weekly is here. We have the full line up for Gleam Gathering, the first talks from Lambda conf and a few blog posts for good measure. gleamweekly.com/issues/75/

Ahh this was a fun chat. Some shared struggles with conference organizing was discussed. I'll be please to get to half the success of goatmire. I've only watched one talk so far and it looked amazing.

Using EYG as a scripting language for an LLM. Capabilities or effects are nice for sandboxing generated code. vimeo.com/1144625843

Hi @netlify.com every month since July you have lost my card details and required me to update my billing details. See the successful billings in this list of billing notices. I've also raised a ticket to ensure that it's updated. Today you lost them again and suspended my projects.

Why not build your own implementation of the BEAM, or drive your browser from Gleam. The next issue of Gleam Weekly is here. gleamweekly.com/issues/73/
