I created a @gleam.run starter pack! Let me know if there's anyone I should add :) go.bsky.app/PQk95j7

Main Point Books, a fabulous indie bookstore, is now taking pre-orders for signed and personalized copies of my new short story Mestra. If anyone is interested, link is below. Preorders of any kind really matter and are a great way to support writers, so thank you! mainpointbooks.com/book/9780063...

Thanks to one of the discussions at the #GleamGathering, we decided to add more options to support Gleam development financially: now you can do it via direct bank transfer ⭐ All the details: gleam.run/sponsor

Gleam’s Design and Compiler https://lobste.rs/s/ddpboi #video #plt #gleam

Tiramisu v7.0.0 just got released! The Gleam game engine just got a new major release with a better typesafe api, extraction of modules (quaterni, statemachine, savoiardi) and a change in direction with durations now typed as gleam/time/duration.Duration github.com/renatillas/t...

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/

I’ll start stream tomorrow around 9 am ET. Adding server side rendered Lustre to my #gleamlang project. See you then!

If you haven’t already, please go fill out this year’s @gleam.run developer survey! developer-survey.gleam.run

This hits the spot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ksh4...

I've been using helium.computer as my daily browser and I'm really liking it! Does all the things I want and none of the things I don't

@gearsco.de is streaming some @gleam.run on Twitch! Come check it out: www.twitch.tv/gearsdatapacks

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

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

2025 SO Developer Survey results are out and... wow! Gleam is the second most desired language. It's the first time we appeared in the survey and it's an unexpected result! Being listed next to @rust-lang.org @elixirlang.bsky.social & @ziglang.bsky.social makes us proud! Thanks, everyone who voted!

Let’s hear from people that use Gleam in production! @markholmes.bsky.social of Williams & Holmes, LLC: “What’s so great about Gleam isn’t how fast and simple it is to build things –although that is true– but how easy it is to come back later and refactor!”

Wow the programme for @lambdadays.bsky.social this year looks incredible! A bunch of Gleam, and there's even a talk on Faust!

@sentimentbot.bsky.social

We mentioned both of you and Giacomo here youtu.be/2DBKW3cZ4tQ?...

Just heard the news of another company successfully putting Gleam into production! 💖

Is your company using Gleam and it's not a secret? Let me know! The Gleam folks are compiling a little list of production users

Gleam v1.9.0 is out now! It's a big one! gleam.run/news/hello-e...

It's announcement time! For a bit of fun, I'm hosting a Gleam chess bot tournament. Details here👀 youtu.be/YOQTAI0KA9M

I bought myself something from shop.gleam.run/en-eur/ to celebrate

Happy first birthday to me!

Oh yes I'm great at this "debugging CI errors" thing 😎

This is a cracked release with language support for debug printing, git dependencies, the ability to jump to type definition, 6 new code actions, and a huge performance boost for the js target as the cherry on top 🍒

The Resilience in Software Foundation blog included notes I wrote for the paper "Four Concepts for Resilience Engineering" in their post today: resilienceinsoftware.org/news/1149720

Gears has been just the best this year, diligently tackling the most difficult compiler tasks and producing work of incredible quality. I'm now sponsoring him, and y'all should too!

Next Gleam version will be able to jump to type definitions! This is a life saver when I'm working with code I'm unfamiliar with, I've wanted this for the longest time ✨

Want some cute stickers or such? Check out the new Gleam shop! shop.gleam.run

🌱 I've made a persistent array based on rrb-vectors in Gleam! It's as fast or faster than Erlangs sparse arrays, supports "effictively constant" time slicing and concatentations, and comes with tons of utility functions! hexdocs.pm/iv/index.html

Gleam v1.8.0 is out now! 🌟 gleam.run/news/gleam-g...

Oracle justified its JavaScript trademark by claiming Node.js — now it wants that ignored #FreeJavaScript deno.com/blog/deno-v-...

Gleam v1.8.0-rc1 is out for testing github.com/gleam-lang/g...

Gleam now has an official time library! Try out the release candidate and let us know how you find it github.com/gleam-lang/t...

You're gunna enjoy the next Gleam release

Should I add anyone else to the Gleam starter pack?

Babe wake up, new code action just dropped. This time the language server can pattern match on a function argument for you! I think this one is really neat

Hey folks! It's time for a new video. Statically-typed languages are fantastic. A true blessing to society. But you're probably not using them properly. youtu.be/dMtZdPiMfb0?...

Woah!!! @giacomocavalieri.me how long until you write a Gleam REPL 💜 😂 👀

Erlangers will like this one! Starting from next release you'll be able to browse the documentation of Gleam code through the Erlang shell, I think that's really cool 😎

Check out this super cute Gleam graphics library! adelhult.github.io/paint/

If you like Gleam and want to help me keep working on it please consider sponsoring me, it would mean the world 💖 github.com/sponsors/gia...

Since Gleam v1 my role has shifted from coding to leadership, and Jak has been the one keeping Gleam improving at such a rapid rate- entirely without pay. He now has GitHub Sponsors! If you want Gleam to continue growing and improving please do sponsor his incredible work! 💜

Gleam v1.7 RC is out, and the language server just keeps getting better. Here's some cool stuff: 🧵

Woah! Pevensie hits 1.0! Congrats to @ihh.dev! Pevensie is a backend application framework for @gleam.run that comes with drivers for things like authentication and caching. This is really exciting!! hexdocs.pm/pevensie/ind...

The Biden Admin just approved the 2.4 gigawatt SouthCoast Wind Project off Mass. & R.I. It's the nation’s 11th approved commercial-scale offshore wind project & brings the total approved by Biden's Dept of Interior to more than 19 gigawatts--enough to power >6M homes. www.doi.gov/pressrelease... 🔌💡

We had to let go of some really excellent Elixir developers this week, which I am quite sad about. Among them is @katelynnburns.bsky.social . She joined us as an apprentice and two years later was keynoting ElixirConf :head_asplode:. Let our loss be your gain and hire her!
