Huh, I didn't know how much I needed a "todo" type until now. So often I'll be defining a packet sumtype, or a collection, and not have created the type yet, so just use ubyte, or Object, or whatever. Having an explicit "todo" type would be amazing in other languages.

Lovely to see support for building escripts in the compiler.
I’d be excited to see that go one step further and provide something like the deno/bun/node compile feature, allowing one to export a binary that includes the BEAM and compiled code in a single file. I know some people are working on tools like that already and it’s not trivial, but having it in the compiler would be really neat.

Every time I read one of these I’m impressed by the language server work. Gleam’s DX is so good.

Stupid question but does the Gleam website run on Gleam?
