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!

Below that there's a screenshot from the survey: "Programming, scripting, and markup languages Rust is yet again the most admired programming language (72%), followed by Gleam (70%), Elixir (66%) and Zig (64%). Gleam is a new addition to the list, and for good reason - developers like it!"

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!”

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 🍒

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 ✨

🌱 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!
