It's really a joyful language. Kind off rusty minus the borrow-checker and the mutability. In it's core it's just pattern-matching and functions/closures as first class citizens.
The ecosystem is young and you have to search a bit to find the right tools for the job or the gleam way to do things.
I tried it because you can use the same language for Front- and Backend it's biggest Frontend lib called "Lustre" is hyped to be the Elm successor. Anyways gleaming away for 2-3 weeks now and it's the best DX that I ever had - no Beam experience upfront btw.

Dumb question but how is a language rusty without a Borrow Checker? For me it feels like that would be the primary point of being "Rusty".
I guess it's the typing and syntax that feels like writing simple Rust, even though the semantics aren't that similar when you look closer.
