  • gleam

    ⭐️ A friendly language for building type-safe, scalable systems!

  • See also, Witchcraft [0] (adds ADTs to Elixir in a subjectively better way than Dialyzer) and Gleam [1] (not Elixir but its own full blown language that uses BEAM but with much more of a Haskell-like flavor) which both offer algebraic data types in their own ways.

    I used to do a lot of Python and heard of Elixir as a marrying of BEAM and dynamic typing, so I started learning it. However, as I used it more, I actually moved to TypeScript and more recently Rust after I found that I actually liked thinking in types, and I truly did miss them from Elixir.
