Squiggle Conf was amazing!!

made an animation for a neat #rustlang written thingy! 🦀👇

Everyone go to SquiggleConf Spring 2027

i'm putting the feelers out for frontend-y dev rel-y docs-y gigs that are 2-3 days a week. if you know someone looking for someone who can do gleam/elm/react/write words, hit me up 💕

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

I'm in Boston for a week! Is there any Gleamlin in the area? Let's meet up! ⭐️

There‘s still a bit to go to making this happen. Rebar is an important piece to using erlang not just for erlang, but just as much for elixir, gleam, … Consider backing this effort.

Check this issue out, great way to get started with the gleam compiler!!

@bsky.app could you not add a black background to png images, pretty please? 🥺👉👈

Last week I set out to fix a small gripe I had with GitHub's UI using Gleam and a Raspberry Pi! It was quite fun, I wrote about it here giacomocavalieri.me/posts/fixing...

I didn't like the way the Bluesky embed looked in my personal blog and so I hand crafted one, so what?

I hate how I either can't write for the life of me, or end up writing a blog post in a crazed frenzy in an evening 🙃

The Kickstarter is off to a great start!! It would be huge to reach the second stretch goal, including Rebar in OTP would get rid of the #1 problem people run into when getting started with Gleam and Erlang ⭐️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/pee...

The Rebar4 kickstarter is live, go show it some support! www.kickstarter.com/projects/pee...

One of my favourite features of the Gleam build tool is that if you try to publish a library with a version 0.x.x, you need to type "I am not using semantic versioning" before it lets you publish

semvers biggest failure is allowing breaking changes in minor and patch changes as long as the major version is zero because now we have projects that just sit at a zero major version for years

Working on Gleam be like

Working on the Gleam compiler be like

If someone feels like starting to contribute to the Gleam compiler there's this new good first issue! Compilers are not scary, give it a try and see for yourself ⭐️💕 github.com/gleam-lang/g...

“We do have systems that are written in mainstream programming languages like Python and JavaScript, but our strategy is to pick the best tool for the job, not just the most popular. Gleam was a good fit for our requirements.” Read the whole case study here: gleam.run/case-studies... ⭐

It's another double win. If you install solar panels on land sheep are currently grazing, not only can the sheep continue to graze there, they're actually *happier* (because of the shade and more diverse vegetation), and they produce more wool. Hmm, is that actually a triple win?

Gleam just broke 20,000 GitHub stars! Wow that's a lot of Gleamlins 💖

I'm going to @squiggleconf.com on September 18th & 19th! It's a web dev tooling conference at the aquarium. I will be speaking about snapshot testing, it's going to be great fun! 🐦‍⬛ squiggleconf.com

we really want to build something using @gleam.run. any suggestions?

Learn more about supporting Gleam: gleam.run/sponsor ⭐

Oh my god how did I not try Jujutsu out earlier, I'm never going back to git github.com/jj-vcs/jj

Is Gleam production ready? Spoiler alert: yes it is! Check out part I of John's blog about putting the language to use: lindbakk.com/blog/is-glea...

Heck yeah I've made it as "Real Life Squirrel" 🐿️💕 Btw it would be so nice if people went and sponsored this pretty cool open source project 👀 gleam.run/sponsor/

James Gunn should bring Phil Wadler's Lambda Man as a minor character in the DC Extended Universe's next flick

I'm streaming! Today we're working on the Gleam compiler 🫡 www.twitch.tv/giacomo_cava...

The first ever Gleam conference!!!!

What a great talk! I really feel inspired to start writing something now @squiggleconf.com youtu.be/_fIIoFTRUOk?...

Details confirmed for the first ever Gleam conference, brought to you by @crowdhailer.bsky.social: Gleam Gathering is happening on 21st February 2026 in Bristol, England. First speakers confirmed are from our Core Team: @lpil.uk @hayleigh.dev and @giacomocavalieri.me ⭐ gleamgathering.com

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

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

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.

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”

Turns out dogfooding is really good to improve your libraries 🤯 The past couple of days I've fixed loads of stuff with Squirrel I never noticed before github.com/giacomocaval...

I think we did pretty good for our first year in the SO survey 😎 survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technol...

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone supporting Gleam through GitHub Sponsors 💜 We couldn’t do it without you. Every release, every feature shipped - you make it possible!

Amazon Ring is introducing a new feature that would allow police to request live-stream access to people’s home security devices. Helllll no. If you have one of those things, get rid of it. Kill it with fire

Gleam v1.12.0-rc1 is out for testing! github.com/gleam-lang/g...

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

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

See how Gleam gets the job done in production ⭐ Full case study coming soon: “For a team like ours, with many other priorities and projects we need to work on, the confidence that Gleam gives us is worth its weight in gold.” - Edward Kelly, Director of Technology at Strand.
