So many amazing Gleam talks at @codebeam.bsky.social Europe! Yoshie's talk on safely and cautious adopting Gleam in existing businesses was absolutely brilliant. Really looking forward to the video being published

Got my first ever successful v5 boulder climb! A fun mantle with only 2 holds. Photo below (me for scale)

Me, a grinning white dude in a loose orange tank top, standing in front of a climbing wall. The image is edited to have two holds circled in pink showing the v5 I did. The first one is a jug on a small volume, just within my arm's reach from the ground, and then a small hold at the very top of the wall, about a full body+arm reach from the volume the first hold is on.

Oh my gosh! Gleam got #2 most admired programming language in the Stack Overflow survey! We're on the podium with Rust and Elixir!

Programming, scripting, and markup languages

Rust is yet again the most admired programming language (72%), followed by Gleam (70%), Elixir (66%) and Zig (64%). Gleam is a new addition to the list, and for good reason - developers like it!
Which programming, scripting, and markup languages have you done extensive development work in over the past year, and which do you want to work in over the next year? (If you both worked with the language and want to continue to do so, please check both boxes in that row.)

I travelled to my parents by electric assist bicycle this Christmas. It was really fun and satisfactory practical! Give it a go! Cycling is fantastic for the body and the local community.
