Explore a conference talk from Code BEAM Lite Stockholm 2024 that delves into Gleam, a programming language built for the Erlang virtual machine with JavaScript compilation capabilities. Learn how Gleam's design decisions specifically target the BEAM ecosystem while offering unique advantages through JavaScript integration. Discover how this dual-platform approach introduces new developers to BEAM, enables actor-based programming across browser and server environments, and utilizes type systems to manage platform-specific differences between Erlang and JavaScript. Understand the implications of Gleam's cross-compilation features for building planet-scale systems and its potential impact on web development, particularly for developers coming from backgrounds in languages like Elm.
