Gleam – Introduction to the language and platform

Abstract: A brief introduction to the Gleam programming language, we’re going to talk about what makes it “click” as a language but also about the underneath platform/s that make it work. Currently, Gleam can be compiled to erlang or javascript which we can use to our advantage to put the computation where it makes the most sense

Bio: While at a desk Raúl spends his time getting into rabbit-holes that make him better understand complexity . He enjoys the nuances of programming but would like programs to tell you more, especially when they go wrong. Exploring erlang, elixir and gleam does fulfill a bit of that . Otherwise, loves trying out traditional food; sharing evenings with friends; gaming; has a small family with wife, baby and cat .

Hello! I will be speaking at the Houston Functional Programmers meetup today about the Gleam language, if you’re interested follow the next link: https://hfpug.org/event/raul-chouza-the-gleam-language/

The talk will be recorded and posted to youtube afterwards
