π New blog post: Migrating an AI Chatbot from Go to Full-Stack Gleam
I rewrote ai.arda.tr from a Go backend + vanilla JS frontend to Gleam on both sides β shared types, SSE streaming, and one language from BEAM to browser.

Glimr, web framework for Gleam.
Using comment to define the route is interesting. Sometimes I put comment about the route in my (django's) view just to remind me the url path for that view.
Mist gleam web server package reminds me of, as a kid, watching my older sibling playing Myst.

poking at the #erlang cosmos with #elixir and #gleam and this all makes perfect sense to me
for me making an effort to learn OOP turned out to be somewhat of a waste of time and I abandoned it at the next feasible opportunity and never looked back
it's just not how I think stuff works and it never really clicked
Got forgejo actions (similar to GitLab Pipelines or Github Actions) setup for my new gleam project.

Getting the docken-in-docker pull rights to my private AWS ECR was the biggest hurdle.
Started my first gleam app. Goal is to stream weather data from my balcony weather station to a web app shared with my neighbors.
Learning Gleam. Found Exercism.org, woh feels like a video game! Fun!
