I love this idea; tiny staircases for cats and other small sentient beings all over city canals/rivers banks to help them get out of the water

Gleam Programming Language @gleam.run · Jul 14

See how Gleam gets the job done in production ⭐ Full case study coming soon:
“For a team like ours, with many other priorities and projects we need to work on, the confidence that Gleam gives us is worth its weight in gold.” - Edward Kelly, Director of Technology at Strand.

Graphic with a headline "Gleam in production" and a quote: “Adopting a new language is always a gamble, but Gleam has paid off. The belt-and-braces approach to safety and fault-tolerance has given us a system that just works, reliably, day in and day out, without constant babysitting and maintenance.” - Edward Kelly, Director of Technology at Strand.

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey!
We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

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!
Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)

"After weeks of rigorous testing, pushing each system beyond reasonable limits, we observed crashes and system failures across almost all languages — except one. Remarkably, the lone survivor wasn’t Rust or Go, as many of us had predicted.
It was Erlang."
