Gleam Has a Free API: A Friendly Type-Safe Language for the BEAM and JavaScript

Gleam is a statically typed functional language that compiles to both Erlang (BEAM) and JavaScript — giving you type safety, friendly errors, and access to the most battle-tested concurrency platform in existence. Why Gleam Matters Erlang and Elixir power WhatsApp (2B users, 50 engineers), Discord, and telecom systems with 99.9999999% uptime. But they are dynamically typed. Gleam brings static types to this ecosystem without sacrificing any of it. What you get for free: Static types with full type inference (rarely need type annotations) Compiles to Erlang AND JavaScript — same code, two platforms Use ANY Erlang/Elixir library (OTP, Phoenix, Ecto — all compatible) Use ANY JavaScript/TypeScript library when targeting JS Friendly compiler errors (inspired by Elm and Rust) No null, no undefined, no exceptions — Result types everywhere Fault-tolerant OTP processes out of the box Quick Start # Install curl -fsSL https://gleam.run/install | sh # Create project gleam new my_app cd my_app # Ru
