✨ This talk was recorded at Code BEAM Europe 2024. If you're curious about our upcoming event, check https://codebebeameurope.com ✨ Erlang was designed to solve a very specific problem at a very specific point in time. That problem has shaped Erlang, the runtime, and the ecosystem around it. The world has since changed, and Ericsson’s once-niche problem of concurrent scalable systems is common place and more people than ever are drawn to the BEAM. With new people have come new problems to solve, new desires, and new ideas for how we can use and enrich the Erlang ecosystem. Gleam is one new aspect of this evolving ecosystem, and in this talk, we will look at how it was shaped by the BEAM, and some of the stories around it, and how Gleam is opening up the BEAM to a whole new group of developers.
