A PDF that says "This PDF was created with Gleam"

The last 8 years have all been working towards this moment

It’s really exciting to hear from Gleam production users! 🔥
“Since go-live, the Gleam code within Strand’s application has been rock-solid. We’ve had zero Gleam-related crashes, and even when there have been issues with other parts of the system, the BEAM has kept everything running”

For sponsorship from individuals you get 100% of the money on GitHub as they cover the fees for you. Super nice that.

I don't agree, beyond both having (extremely different) static types there's not really much in common.
The philosophies are about as different as you can get within the space of statically typed languages.

Besides `pub fn` I don't think there's anything in Gleam that's like Rust though really.

Funny accident that one. `fn` and `->` came from Elixir, and `: type` came from mainstream C family languages.
Originally we had an `export` keyword but switched to `pub`, and so by chance it ended up looking like Rust.

Thank you!

You're the best

this is so exciting! if you haven't already, you should really try out Gleam. it's a wonderful language, has a great community, and has second-to-none tooling. you'll be amazed!

Thank you so much!!

Technology | 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey

I am back to sponsoring @lpil.uk at $20 / month for his amazing work on @gleam.run

If you didn't catch it, Gleam was ranked as the #2 most desired programming language from the Stack Overflow survey.

Louis's vision, determination, and cultivation of an impressive core team is incredible.

Gleam: The Movie
In theatres 2026

Yet again I am wishing @github.com let you email individual sponsors! It would be so useful!

Possibly surprising: Rust wasn't a reference or inspiration for Gleam! I personally don't think Gleam is like Rust at all. People disagree with me though :P

Thank you!!

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.)

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

Finally, an accolade I can be proud of

Give it a try!

Thank you!!
GitHub has zero platform fees for individuals sponsoring! It's a really good programme.

Thank you!!!!

I have always admired the reputation of Erlang and Elixir, but Louis' work building @gleam.run has made that ecosystem approachable. I'm doing coding challenges to learn the language better, rather than game. I am constantly 🤤 over the idea of refactoring work systems.

Sponsoring is a no brainer.
