cool thing about playing with #gleamlang is that it actually runs on my laptop without making it hot and putting the fans in crazy mode.
compiles and runs fast, few MBs of memory.
creating a binary with gleescript creates a script that makes the application run on erlang vm and it works without much ceremony and again without killing my memory and taking all my swap space.
it's a nice change of pace compared to the usual #scala that can't run without 4 jvm processes killing the machine 🙄
hard to get used to know where things are in the modules and import things manually without autocomplete/discovery being up front in the ide.
feedback from the compiler is not bad.
haven't reached for "use" keyword yet and it kinda scares me since I'm more used to do-notation like things like we have on scala with for-comprehensions.
overall the surface language is not too big, can be read in a few hours on the site, which is good 😉
