A screenshot of Hex packages showing gleam_stdlib v1.0.0. with description "A standard library for the Gleam programming language". Above the screenshot there's a pink star smiling - Gleam's mascot, lucy
It's here! gleam_stdlib v1 released!
Latest commit "implement ralph loop". Well it is 2026.
Ralph is a memory management strategy (as apposed to chat thread) and to me it makes sense to bake that into the harness.
Are there any more memory strategies with good names?

Write Gleam in Gleam, or GH Actions in Gleam, or EYG in Gleam. There's always another compiler in Gleam land.
Issue 84 of Gleam Weekly is here.
gleamweekly.com/issues/84/
EYG now has a Cli interpreter, and compiler aaaand REPL.
I made a video about it.

EYG is easy to run in lots of places, except I never wrote any documentation.
"Embedding EYG in Gleam programs" is the first guide to fix that omission.
Gleam is a great host language targeting multiple runtimes, EYG makes well isolated scripts easy. github.com/CrowdHailer/...
I'm impressed with the amount of libraries released this week, we even have one for getting Gleam on microcontrollers.

EYG is now open source.
This first EYG newsletter in a year also, has to, make a little comment about the AI elephant in the room.

Gleam 1.15 is here, tail calls explained and making illegal states unrepresentable.
Gleamweekly issue 81 is ready for your inbox.

The Gleam community go ham on writing libraries. We have libraries for PDF, thermal printers, QR codes and static site generation.
We also have the first write up of the inaugural Gleam Gathering.
Issue 80 of Gleam weekly hot off the press.

Another milestone achieved: Gleam had its first conference!
Thank you, @crowdhailer.bsky.social and Laura, for organising the #GleamGathering 2026 and bringing together dozens of Gleamlins in one place 🩷
Talks from FOSDEM and a Gnome based explainer, all in this weeks issue of Gleam Weekly.

Thanks. I'll get it finished soon.
Then the much harder challenge of convincing people they can manage their own keys
This week's newsletter has the Gleam Gathering keynote announced. Louis will be bringing us a keynote looking backwards and forwards in the Gleam timeline.

Dusting off some CSS skill, I'm somewhat pleased with the results.
This is my prototype for users being able to sign package releases using WebAuthN. Trying to get to a decentralized as is sensible package infrastructure.
A bumper newsletter after the Christmas holidays. We have the latest release the 2025 Developer survey and a bounty of blogs and libraries.

EYG now has relative references and an IDE for multiple "files" of code. I'm using this IDE to improve the standard and JSON libraries much faster than before.
Demo shows how effects can be used to scope external service calls.
Algebraic effects are a great language feature. I keep finding new uses for them.
Here we have a specific effect for DNSimple that is handled to a generic Fetch call.
Keeps tokens out of application code. Adding proxy or stubbing in tests is also trivial
The density of this line-up and schedule is beautiful. Should be awesome.
What was that famous quote?
I'm sorry about the duration of my events. If I had more time I'd make them shorter.. I think that was it.

The week's Gleam Weekly is here.
We have the full line up for Gleam Gathering, the first talks from Lambda conf and a few blog posts for good measure.
gleamweekly.com/issues/75/
Ahh this was a fun chat. Some shared struggles with conference organizing was discussed.
I'll be please to get to half the success of goatmire. I've only watched one talk so far and it looked amazing.
Using EYG as a scripting language for an LLM. Capabilities or effects are nice for sandboxing generated code.

I've loved the @netlify.com service but I don't trust your support process to fix this.
We are loosing ticket sales for Gleam Gathering because of this so tomorrow I start moving all my projects to another service.
Hi @netlify.com every month since July you have lost my card details and required me to update my billing details.
See the successful billings in this list of billing notices. I've also raised a ticket to ensure that it's updated.
Today you lost them again and suspended my projects.
Why not build your own implementation of the BEAM, or drive your browser from Gleam.
The next issue of Gleam Weekly is here.

So excited to speak at the first-ever Gleam conference! And then I get to nerd out about vdoms and performance too!
Thank you to @crowdhailer.bsky.social for organizing this amazing event 💕
All the speakers and panelists are now confirmed for Gleam Gathering 2026.

It's a great line up that will take us through a range of topics an perspectives.
See you all there.
Last year I had great fun explaining effects and handlers in this 5 minute lightning talk at @codebeam.bsky.social EU
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dieh...
Today I'm going to try and explain type safe code reloading in 5 minutes.
I can't be the only one doing this.
All the articles and blogs I'm reading I first transform to a markdown file.
I'm using the @cloudflare.social browser rendering API to do this, but I'm sure there's other options.
The main trigger was wanting to keep a copy of what I read.
