Look I learned three git commands ten years ago and that’s all I’ll know for the rest of my life

thanks lucy

I think we did pretty good for our first year in the SO survey 😎
survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technol...

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!"

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!

Anyone have suggestions for other browsers? I really love Chrome’s profile management — I use this frequently throughout my day to separate my work, personal, and developer bookmarks and sessions. Firefox just couldn’t cut it for this, but I may just have to use it. Open to other suggestions!

Let’s hear from people that use Gleam in production!

@markholmes.bsky.social of Williams & Holmes, LLC:
“What’s so great about Gleam isn’t how fast and simple it is to build things –although that is true– but how easy it is to come back later and refactor!”

Wow the programme for @lambdadays.bsky.social this year looks incredible! A bunch of Gleam, and there's even a talk on Faust!

Just heard the news of another company successfully putting Gleam into production! 💖

Is your company using Gleam and it's not a secret? Let me know! The Gleam folks are compiling a little list of production users

Fantastic release! So excited at all the wonderful improvements

Do you sync with an overall health app or do you use both apps? I’m using Apple Health and few things connect to it — would the Oura ring and (in my case) an Apple Watch compete or overlap on the same workout and double count, if I’m wearing both? I too can’t sleep with a watch on :(

I bought myself something from shop.gleam.run/en-eur/ to celebrate

Happy first birthday to me!

This doesn’t totally answer your question, but I’m really impressed by what @giacomocavalieri.me did with Squirrel: github.com/giacomocaval...

You write SQL, you get useful functions in your application. It’s been really nice to use in @gleam.run

Oh yes I'm great at this "debugging CI errors" thing 😎

Then I delete the branch entirely and start over 🥳

I’m “rebase gone wrong” but just on every commit

This is a cracked release with language support for debug printing, git dependencies, the ability to jump to type definition, 6 new code actions, and a huge performance boost for the js target as the cherry on top 🍒

Three Takes on Four Concepts for Resilience Engineering Ed note: The first time I read Dr. David Woods' paper Four Concepts for Resilience Engineering, I felt so many things click in my brain. While the field of Resilience Engineering is not new, those of ...

The Resilience in Software Foundation blog included notes I wrote for the paper "Four Concepts for Resilience Engineering" in their post today: resilienceinsoftware.org/news/1149720

Gears has been just the best this year, diligently tackling the most difficult compiler tasks and producing work of incredible quality.
I'm now sponsoring him, and y'all should too!

Next Gleam version will be able to jump to type definitions! This is a life saver when I'm working with code I'm unfamiliar with, I've wanted this for the longest time ✨
