4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

It actually is intentional. I'm hoping to change that soon and I'm very happy to explain my intentions there. It you find my email on github message me and we can have a call or share in an email what the current rational is.

That's kinda permanently on my todo list. it's a good idea I should get round to it.

p.s. the project's open source so PR welcome if you fancy it.

Hey folks, it's been a little while since I've released a video. Here's one talking about how to decode dynamic data in Gleam - a super important topic!

Take a look 👀

A job opportunity and release candidate for a stable release of gleam_erlang. This weeks issue show's Gleam is ever more production ready.

4/29/2025, Spotless and Github SDK This is "4/29/2025, Spotless and Github SDK" by crowdhailer on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

A problem with statically typed languages can be that talking to the outside world is cumbersome.

I think that doesn't need to be the case. I've been experimenting with a code first integration platform "Spotless" and generating Gleam clients from Open API

This weeks Gleam Weekly is out and it seems like the community is producing interesting libraries at an increasing rate. gleamweekly.com/issues/55/

The next version of Lustre web is great to see and I always have time for some logic programming.

This week in Gleam. Issue 54 now available. gleamweekly.com/issues/54

A couple of nice blog post in this weeks issue.

yes please

Consistent library growth in the Gleam ecosystem. And a new Elixir conference, that I will be involved with.

gleamweekly.com/issues/53/

Looking like a cool conference that I'm excited to be involved with.
Check it out.

A good summary of where AI coding is going. I think we can get infinite garbage without AI (I'm thinking npm blackhole meme) And with or without AI we need abstraction leap (or new incentive schemes) to fix it.

A lovely selection of libraries and a discount code for a conference stateside.

This week in Gleam. Issue 50 now available. gleamweekly.com/issues/50

Property testing and a chess bot competition I'm keen on both of these developments. Maybe I can combine them.

3/3/2025, Type safe eval effect This is "3/3/2025, Type safe eval effect" by crowdhailer on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

I've implemented an eval for EYG that type checks the evaluated program against how it will be used in the rest of the program. To my thinking it's similar to a Type provider but implemented the same as any other effect.https://vimeo.com/1062143358?share=copy

2/21/2025, Mobile friendly embedded editor This is "2/21/2025, Mobile friendly embedded editor" by crowdhailer on Vimeo, the home for high quality videos and the people who love them.

The latest EYG editor is better to use on mobile and cleaner to embed in slides, blogs, documentation.
Having real code everywhere is very nice when explaining things.

Programs don't kill people, computers do This post outlines the evolution of the EYG editor. The major changes over time, design thoughts and some implementation notes.

Algebraic effects are great and I think might find a place in many languages. Here's my explanation of how they work
