The rainbow is here all year long, so we don't need to change the profile for June. But it is a good time to remind everyone that LGBTQIA+ rights are under attack all year long as well. And to steal @haskell.org's message: there would be no Gleam without trans people 🩵🩷🤍

They were looking for: - Type safety - Massive concurrency - Functional patterns - Shared types - Proven at scale And Gleam checked every box! Learn how @curling.io is building new version of the platform: curling.io/blog/the-nex...
Quote from Dave Rapin, Foundar at Curling IO: “BEAM was the killer feature. None of these other options came close to what the BEAM VM offers: rock-solid concurrency, fault tolerance, and proven scalability.

Gleam gives us BEAM on the backend with familiar functional patterns on the frontend, all in a single language.

Headline: Gleam in productionQuote:“The rewrite started as an experiment, never meant to actually replace the existing code. It went so well that we had no reason not to go forward with it. And secondly, the switch to Gleam made our code feel more robust. The gains in productivity from switching were already visible.”source: radical-elements.com all on navy background, there's a tiny pink starfish in the bottom right corner
