Gleam uses regular OTP, it doesn’t have a distinct OTP inspired framework. Source: I’m the author of Gleam.

hey, thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that Gleam had a few shortcomings re: OTP, like missing APIs or the need to fall back to Erlang. Many people I know who work regularly with Elixir hold similar opinions - do you have any idea what happened there? Is there a lack of publicity for this support? Is it a documentation problem?

I feel that was more true 1-2 years ago. These days I find Claude Code write almost as good (or as bad depending on your perspective) Elixir code as JavaScript code and there must be less Elixir code in the training data.

in my daily experience Claude Code writes better Elixir code than JS (React). Surely this has to do with the quality of the training material

Gleam is a beautiful language, and what I wish Elixir would become (re:typing).

For those that don't know its also built upon OTP, the erlang vm that makes concurrency and queues a trivial problem in my opinion.

Absolutely wonderful ecosystem.

I've been wanting to make Gleam my primary language, but I fear LLMs have frozen programming language advancement and adoption for anything past 2021.

But I am hopeful that Gleam has slid just under the closing door and LLMs will get up to speed on it fast.

the Erlang vm is called BEAM, not OTP. sadly, Gleam's implementation of OTP is not at the same level as Elixir's or Erlang.

To play devil's advocate a bit, Ferrari won both championships in 2007 and the constructors in 2008, so it's hard to say they were robbed when they actually won. Massa though, is another story.

They made sure it wouldn’t happen again though

Reality cannot be perceived. A crisp shadow is all you can hope for.

The problem for me is the point of the economy in the limit where robots are better, faster and cheaper than any human at any job. If the robots don’t decide we’re worth keeping around we might end up worse than horses.

but that crisp shadow is exactly what we call perception

> A system that costs less, per word thought or written, than it'd cost to hire the cheapest human labor on the face of the planet.

Is it really possible to make this claim given the vast sums of money that have gone in to AI/LLM training?

agos · 7 days ago

it's coming from an extremely biased source, that's why nobody else would make that claim

Yeah and the Amazon color schemes aren't exactly amazing for contrast either.

but google told me everyone can vibe code apps now and software engineers should count their days... it's almost as if there's more stuff we do than just write code...
