Fireside Chat: Making a type-safe language on the BEAM
"Gleam is a fast, friendly, and functional language for building type-safe, scalable systems."
"Caramel is a functional language for building type-safe, scalable and maintainable applications."
These are currently the official slogans of the Gleam and Caramel languages, and it's easy to see the alignment on functional programming, scalability and maintainability. But with both being languages running on the BEAM, these are not too surprising. Type-safety on the BEAM, on the other hand? That is a more intriguing story! Join us on this fireside chat hosted by Stavros Aronis, where Louis Pilford, author of Gleam, and Leandro Ostera, author of Caramel, will answer all your questions about making a type-safe language on the BEAM!
