New Gleam Just Dropped

Classic prime: i dont understand why this feature exists Also prime 15 seconds later: this is the best feature ever

Wooo Gleam!!! Thanks for coving it

0:05 "if I had all the time on the world you're on my list" is what she told me too

I tried gleam when it first released and it I loved it. It’s clean and lean. Excited to try it again.

14:18 you might want to doublecheck your NotNil assertions. This can be a bit tricky in go. Because the receiver type here is `any`, if you pass a value of for example type `*int` with a value of `nil`, the `item == nil` expression will not be true because when passing `*int` as `any`, the actual thing being passed is something like a tuple the value itself (nil) and the type, which together is then not `nil`, hence the `item == nil` check will not catch it. You can do a proper nil--check in this case using reflection only for example like this: ```go import "reflect" func isNil(v any) bool { if v == nil { return true } rv := reflect.ValueOf(v) switch rv.Kind() { case reflect.Ptr, reflect.Interface, reflect.Slice, reflect.Map, reflect.Chan, reflect.Func: return rv.IsNil() default: return false } } ```

I agree, what finally helped me using neovim was to just use it vanilla. Then downloaded Kickstart for configuring a theme and installing neovim-tree. Then I started playing with LSP. But I always try to keep shortcuts vanilla, if I need a script to do something, I ignore it. Lots of research of how to do things, but, things are slowly working out

Not yet sure about Gleam, but anything that brings more folks to the BEAM is good.

Have you tried the LSP for Golangs "templ". Don't think you got the LSP to work in vim when you tested templ (in the video I saw). It is quite good!

is assert optimized away in a release version?

It's me! Gia' como! being Italian it is so strange to me xD 😅

3:40 made me think of OCaml immediately

Gleam mentioned!

Full yt video on panic and asserts would be nice.

on error resume. What could possibly go wrong?

The "butt as an avatar" bots wasted no time commenting!

Gleam 5 years experience on job list next year

Looks nice, hope it will gain popularity and adoption

Looking into Gleam as a C# developer. I agree throw is bad. I now use Union/Option types in C# just to avoid propagating throw's from a try/catch. Try/catch is an expensive for an application. I'll have to dig a little deeper into negative space programming, never heard of it until now. My apps can't crash but I can return a 500 status code so I have objects like Error, Threw, Panic to signal to the developer that there's a mismatch in the application state.
