Is it possible to have static types and "let it crash" in the same language? @louispilfold spent years building @gleamlang to prove the answer is yes. New episode with the creator of Gleam - running in servers, browsers, and $2 microcontrollers. piped.video/m7pkjSEGKvM

Aha! I can finally talk about this! I've been itching to spread the word and share some learnings. Thanks again to Microsoft and GitHub for inviting Gleam into the program, it has been fantastic.

In Session 4 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, 50 open source projects upgraded their security posture through AI-assisted workflows, maintainer expertise, GitHub security tools, expert guidance, and funding. As AI changes how software is built, reviewed, and secured, maintainers remain at the center of protecting the open source ecosystem. Here's what these projects learned and the impact they made. 👇 github.blog/open-source/main…

Tangled first impressions: I like that the UI doesn't bug out or fail to load half the time.

Another example of Gleam in action: a non-profit organisation built their ticketing system with Gleam and Lustre 🌟
"Gleam in production" headline followed by a quote: "I chose Gleam and Lustre as my tool of choice for the confidence it gave me to release this application through fullstack type safety and use of OTP. The app didn't break a sweat when tickets went on sale!" by Cole from Undefined.Charity. In the bottom right corner there's a smiling pink star, Gleam's logo.
