inoas@markstory oh cool you are working for sentry.io now? It helped me a lot with elixir apps, and I like it a bit more than appsignal so far. :)
Mark Story@inoas Yes, I have been there for a few years now. It is great to hear that sentry was able to help :)
@markstory Once #gleam lang (https://gleam.run) grows larger I hope that there will be an easy way to integrate with Sentry :)
@inoas I hadn't heard of Gleam before. It looks interesting for sure.
@markstory the next release will probably have exhaustiveness checking. High on my desire list is optional args. Then I'd say it is super useful as Erlang/Elixir are super powerful but IMHO hard to maintain in large teams and/or large software projects. JS too IMHO is hard to maintain in larget teams and/or large software projects. Strong static typing and functional programming + immutability (or borrow checking :D if you like the added complexity... Rust says hi) imho helps massivly there.
@inoas I haven't gotten through all the docs, but I am liking the blend of rust, dart and elixir gleam hits.
@markstory There is now a concepts track on exercism which is good https://exercism.org/tracks/gleam/concepts but the tour on the website convinced me 2 years ago to invest https://gleam.run/book/tour/ when I was looking for "Elixir with static types" because I learned Dart when I learned Elixir and missed the types.
@markstory The concepts on exercism seem to lack the explanation of use which basically unwraps callback hell into a linear list: https://gleam.run/book/tour/use.html
