Gleam is a very new programming language, that is, it first appeared in 2016 but only made its debute in 2019 (for reference; Rust first appeared in 2006). It is a very fun language, because it has a lot of interesting syntax that doesn't appear in other languages—e.g. the pipe operator |> among other things

We'll cover:

  • How to write Gleam— a small introduction for somewhat experienced programmers
  • What Gleam can do
  • Writing a small program with Gleam
