ML-style types on the BEAM — friendly static typing for the fault-tolerant runtime; the fastest-growing young Erlang-family language.

Created by Louis Pilfold

Louis Pilfold's Gleam (2016) — a friendly typed language on the BEAM — brings ML syntax to Erlang's runtime: type-safe actors on the VM that runs WhatsApp.\n\nIt is the BEAM's answer to 'what if Elixir had types?' — small, growing, and technically pure.
