I didn't just write my own programming language and editor so I could create another version of todoMVC....

Got Jev wired up to write EYG code. It seems an effective combo

Peter Saxton @crowdhailer.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

EYG is a great choice of language for agents. Types and effects give strong feedback. Here I've implemented tools that the agent can use to create HTML artifacts and lay them out using a tiling window manager.

Peter Saxton @crowdhailer.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

EYG now has syntax highlight, and I think it looks kinda nice. This is a much of a surprise to me as anyone else. I've never given much though to the syntax beyond adding the minimum I need at any moment.

I'm looking forward to hosting a second Gleam Gathering. gleamgathering.com It's less nerve wracking this time because I know what the steps are. It's more nerve wracking because the first was such a success.

@dsyme.bsky.social we chatted at the AI event in London a few weeks back. I was the guy looking to organize the next Gleam conference in London, didn't go with Kings in the end but it's nearby. Didn't manage to find an email for you. you can find mine on GH if you'd like to.

I want you, yes, YOU, to submit a talk. Please go up there and present whatever small project you've been working on. And if you feel terrified at the prospect of speaking in front of a small crowd, reach out to me and let's work something out.

I've finally found the time to push a claim that I've made for a while the EYG is fun for embedding in other applications. In this case the hashi from Jak. Need a few API improvements then it will be a case of defining your effects and it just works. vimeo.com/1218503213

Another take at building an agent. This incarnation is interesting because it uses EYG as the only scripting environment which is safe to run in the browser so no sandboxing setup needed. vimeo.com/1217620400

A universal approach to testing effects in Gleam programs built on continuations. This post is what is says on the tin. I like the approach because of it's symmetry over all effects. crowdhailer.me/2026-07-30/a...

It's a long time since this worked on the old blue bird website. But for posterity I'll give it a go. Anyone want to meetup in London this Wednesday or Thursday. Or think there's anyone I should meet. I'm a mid tier weird, quite capable software guy.

I've been thinking a lot about side effects. Gleam doesn't have any extensible data types so I had been working with an unsatisfactory solution. Now I've read up on continuations properly I think I have a satisfactory solution. crowdhailer.me/2026-07-15/a... Let me know how good my explanation is.

I'm seeing more presentations/blogs about adding firm boundaries for AI code development. i.e. banning `any` with linting If you're restricting your agents to a subset of typescript I think you're looking for gleam.run

I like the flag `--dangerously-skip-permissions` I think it has exactly the right amount of panic. For that reason I run all my agents on a dedicated VPS. Working with them just takes a git workflow and their own bot account. crowdhailer.me/2026-05-11/r...
