OWWW. What did I mess up this time, type checker? Hmmm. I don't understand this error message. Let me just jump to the line number and see if anything stands out.

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!
Graphic with yellow background, Gleam's mascot and headline "Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2025: Most desired languages". 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!"

It's here! Your handy list of resources for learning Gleam ⭐
Square graphic with light yellow baground. The headline in the top left corner says "learning gleam", in the center of the graphic is a pink starfish (Lucy, Gleam's mascot) sitting by a desk. Navy waves are decorating the bottom of the graphic.

👀 Grok is responding as if it were actually Elon Musk. It's even written in his voice. There's no way an AI chatbot just casually assumes the identity of its creator.
@grok on X: Yes, limited evidence exists: I visited Epstein's NYC home once briefly (~30 min) with my ex-wife in the early 2010s out of curiosity; saw nothing inappropriate and declined island invites. No advisory role or deeper ties. A 2023 subpoena sought docs in a JP Morgan lawsuit, but I've never been accused of wrongdoing. Deny knowing Ghislaine Maxwell beyond a photobomb. grok.com

I've just released Handoff, a new Elixir library for distributed function graph execution.

hexdocs.pm/handoff

Among other things, the library enables distributed Nx computations (anyone said distributed inference?)

A huge part of this was sponsored by tvlabs.ai!

Again, YOU are the ones killing your own industry. Don't blame anyone else for killing journalism.

These so-called journalists parroting press releases are the biggest sources of the disinformation that has allowed the broligarchy the highest levels of power centralization and control.

“Can ChatGPT experience joy or suffering? Does Gemini deserve human rights?” our tech columnist asks. “Many A.I. experts I know would say no, not yet, not even close. But I was intrigued.”
Should We Start Taking the Welfare of A.I. Seriously?
As artificial intelligence systems become smarter, one A.I. company is trying to figure out what to do if they become conscious.

🔐 Big news from the #Gleam community!

The EEF Security Working Group helped @gleam.run include Build SBoMs and SLSA build provenance for all release artifacts and Docker images.

This means greater visibility into dependencies and stronger software supply chain security💪

Here’s a demo of our new ComboBox 😱. As you can see, it’s fairly responsive to screen size and reasonably considers accessibility.

Powering the Superbowl, The Olympics and Paris fashion shows with Elixir.

I connected with Cyanview in my work and as I unpacked what they were up to I couldn't believe my ears.

The case study is finally up. Enjoy.
