Do you wish #Erlang had more #typesafety? Give #Gleam a try! A statically typed functional language, using the #Beam virtual machine, and compiles to either Erlang or JavaScript. Just hit version 1.0 at the start of March, so should be production ready. I don't write Erlang myself, but always interested in a JavaScript replacement.

Want strong typing without a build process?

(Hint: you don’t need to use TypeScript.)

1. Use a modern editor like Helix Editor or VSCodium that supports the TypeScript Language Server (LSP).

2. Add this line to the top of your JavaScript file (without the backticks, if you see any):

// @ts-check  

3. Go read up on JSDoc ;)
