Unicode lied to your terminal.

I’m working on display-width–aware APIs for str: columns, truncation, padding, emoji and CJK included.

Pure Gleam, no NIFs, no shortcuts.

A small distraction before the inevitable major release.

Ok.
Now str 1.2.3 😓 is available on hex

- Also solved the problem of displaying the logo on hexdoc

Releasing str 1.2.3 a bit (too) earlier than planned.
@lpil.uk was spot on about HTML escape handling > thanks for that 💜.

Now back to the gleam-orous stuff 😉: cleaning up the codebase, shaving the API surface, and maybe shipping a couple of things people asked for. If luck allows.

#gleamlang

Helping a dear friend move from C to OCaml for work. He’s got a manual, but I want to gather extra resources: tutorials, repos, example projects, tips, gotchas, everything that makes the jump less brutal.
Ready to pack up all your advice and ship it ASAP 🤟

Anyone here using OCaml? 🐫
Thanks!

One day deep in the @gleam.run community and bam 💥

tons of support for my absurd little libraries.

Seriously, you folks are amazing. 🤩

thanks a ton!

str 1.2.2 is out.
No new real features.
Just fewer fixes, clearer docs, and me admitting the API grew weird.
Everything else is now explained, not implied.

Two new experimental algorithms:
KMP and Sliding.
Auto-select if you trust heuristics, pick one if you don’t.

I shipped cmp_gleam.
A tiny @gleam.run lib for explicit, composable comparators.

No derives.
No magic.
No “trust me bro” ordering.

Comparators are values. You compose them or you don’t.
It's also compatible with str 😮

Looking for people to follow.

Are there devs here on Gleam / Elixir / Erlang / FP?

If you post or build real stuff,
I’m here.

#gleam #elixir #erlang #fp

I just sponsored @gleam.run
small amount, lots of love 💜.
first and only project I’ve sponsored so far 🙌.

hey,
Strings are hard.
Unicode is worse.

I recently wrote an article about it, and built str along the way.
a Unicode-correct string library for @gleamlang ,
with zero OTP dependencies.
