Time to wrap up the year, let’s look at some numbers 🤓 But before we do: thank you everyone for supporting Gleam's journey in 2025! Huge thank you to every contributor, sponsor, supporter, to all the Gleamlins and Gleam-curious people. You rock! ⭐

"We’ve started using Gleam to orchestrate all of the background jobs that happen in our system. Gleam’s type system, along with classic BEAM goodness like supervision trees, has given us total confidence that our code will handle just about anything we throw at it" - @ihh.dev

I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package. This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie! The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

When asked what they liked about Gleam, developers responded with: "It's very braindead" "Gleam is Haskell for normies" "The core team is very fasionable" "I don't have to configure TS" I think I've picked the right language
