"the maintainer is a legitimate communist. i will not be supporting this language" - some yt guy, 2024 I made @gleam.run and I do gymnastics (badly) they/them or he/him. end fossil fuels. genocide is bad. ride a bike.
Giving $300,000 to the world's most well funded collection of Arch Linux dotfiles is a really odd decision, and that's before the politics of the project.
@willow.sh What are you using with niri? Your setup looked really nice
There’s a lot to like about gleam, but one aspect that doesn’t get a lot of attention is the security focus of the development team. Gleam offers great tooling and platforms for building secure and resilient web applications and services. gleam.run/news/help-fr...

hayleigh@hayleigh.dev · 2mo agolondon gleamlins, come join us on the 18th of august for a meetup! @renatillas.dev will be talking to us about event sourcing, and i'll of course be preaching the good word about #atproto and maybe there'll be a little surprise launch too 🤭 luma.com/vacn20ag

Gleam Programming Language@gleam.run · last mo.Happy to say we were in an excellent position in terms of security before the program even began! ⭐ But there were still things we learned from @securitylab.github.com! Check @lpil.uk's key takeaways from the @github.com Secure Open Source Fund program: gleam.run/news/help-fr...
Bravo @jtdowney.com for adding password hashing algorithms Erlang's crypto module! So many NIFs can be removed from so many web applications when this is released, hype! github.com/erlang/otp/p...
crypto: add crypto:kdf/4 by jtdowney · Pull Request #11301 · erlang/otp
Add a crypto:kdf/4 NIF backed by OpenSSL's EVP_KDF, supporting argon2, hkdf, scrypt, sskdf, and pbkdf2 with option maps. This was something I had proposed on Erlang Forums and also discovered i...

oooh exciting! I loved Evan's work with Elm, keen to check this out too
Evan Czaplicki@acadia.engineering · last mo.Acadia is out today! Bringing the benefits of Elm to SQLite and PostgreSQL: - Friendly error messages - Custom types for precise column data - Simple module system for easy reuse Check it out! acadia.engineering/blog/rethink...
Aha! I can finally talk about this! I've been itching to spread the word and share some learnings. Thanks again to Microsoft and GitHub for inviting Gleam into the program, it has been fantastic.
GitHub@github.com · 2mo agoIn Session 4 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund, 50 projects upgraded their security posture through AI-assisted workflows, maintainer expertise, GitHub security tools, and more. As AI changes how software is built, maintainers remain at the center of protecting the open source ecosystem. 👇
Huge thank you to these folks! We need more peeps like them who can support Gleam core
Gleam Programming Language@gleam.run · 2mo agoThank you @atuin.sh for supporting Gleam! ⭐
I have a project to stream! Now I just need it to be cool enough in my flat for it to be tolerable to wear a tshirt. No one needs to see that.
Louis Pilfold@lpil.uk · 2mo agoMaybe I should stream again
Can anyone recommend a way to continuously send photos taken on my iphone to a Linux server? I've used a few things but haven't been totally happy with anything yet. Currently using Immich but I'd love something lighter for just sync files.
Went to the pub with some Gleamlins this evening, what a lovely bunch!! Even more looking forward to meetup on the 18th now.
Firefox's URL autocompletion has totally broken for me for some reason. At first it was annoying, but now after a couple days I'm quite liking it? My web browsing is much more intentional now, and I'm not habitually opening the news and social media as often.
See you there folks!

ok this is the coolest package I've seen in a while. It can convert curl commands into Gleam code, or the other way around. Instant Gleam examples from any API documentation with a single copy/paste curlify.hexdocs.pm

And there's also a bunch of rubbish code written by me!
John Downey@jtdowney.com · 2mo agoThe more I work in the @gleam.run compiler, the more impressed I am with all of the existing work it does. There is a lot of interesting stuff that goes into compiling pattern matching into efficient JavaScript.

I am so confused by all the reviews for Odyssey, from both friends and critics; I thought it was pants! Went home and watched 1987's Predator immediately afterwards. Hot damn, it is such well made film. Got to show it to someone for the first time too!
@giacomocavalieri.me's twitch streams are such good vibes. Gleamlins are so chill
I attempted a glide kip for the first time today, and with a little help from coach I got really close! I think I can get it soon!? I am super excited.
