Abstract
In a world of ever-expanding programming languages packed with features, the Gleam programming language takes a different path: it chooses to stay small, focused, and resolutely practical.
This philosophy extends way beyond the language’s design itself encompassing tooling, ecosystem, and how Gleam itself is developed.
Being a truly open source project, free from corporate ownership, Gleam has to be really efficient with its resources: any new feature must justify its place, not just in terms of usefulness, but in terms of long-term maintenance.
This is also what allows Gleam to be independent and community-driven, similar to many of the Linux community software projects we know and love.
