    Modern type system over BEAM sounds great but unfortunately OTP is still not 100% supported https://github.com/gleam-lang/otp?tab=readme-ov-file#limitat...

    They seem to have rewritten/wrapped OTP, but it's not production ready. https://github.com/gleam-lang/otp

    YMMV, but a BEAM language without OTP severely limits its appeal and usability.

    Looks like it is an external library[^1]. Readme states it is experimental and lists some limitations.

    We have a fully type safe and OTP compatible implementation of actors and supervisors here https://github.com/gleam-lang/otp

    No primitives as it's not possible to have them when compiling to JavaScript, but we do have them as types and functions in the OTP library https://github.com/gleam-lang/otp

    On the advice of u/WrongJudgment6 I'm reading the Gleam OTP tests. But I can't compile, and hence can't test, the code. (I'd like to do that so I can tweak the tests to do my own experiments.) Whenever I try I get an error like this:

    We have a fully type safe and Erlang compatible OTP library! It is used in production today.

    https://github.com/gleam-lang/otp

    It is not a wrapper around gen_server etc, but instead it is a full implementation from the ground up using a very small core. This was done because:

    a) Erlang OTP cannot be typed, we need different abstractions are designed with types in mind

    b) We want to be confident that our abstractions are powerful enough to build something like OTP, rather than cheating by relying on type casts.

    I'm very happy with how Gleam OTP is going, but it is not the focus now that an initial version is out. Tooling and documentation is more important at the moment.
