Explore the integration of actors in Gleam, a type-safe programming language for the BEAM ecosystem, in this 25-minute conference talk from Code BEAM America 2024. Dive into Gleam's approach to representing processes and messages within its type system, and learn how it rebuilds the fundamental OTP abstraction of actors. Examine the components that make up an actor and understand the mechanisms Gleam employs to ensure type safety in concurrent and asynchronous programming. Follow along with a demonstration and gain insights into subjects, selectors, and the shutdown process. Discover how Gleam's straightforward syntax and robust error messages empower developers to build domain logic with a typed foundation, making it an excellent choice for creating reliable finite programs on the BEAM platform.
