Embark on a code-centric journey into Gleam, a friendly language designed for building type-safe systems that scale, in this 36-minute conference talk recorded at YOW! Australia 2024. Giacomo Cavalieri, a Gleam Core Team member, explores the language's design philosophy and demonstrates what makes it uniquely "friendly" for developers. Through multiple demos, discover Gleam's ecosystem including Wisp, Lustre, and Squirrel frameworks. Learn how Gleam enables highly concurrent and fault-tolerant systems while maintaining type safety. The presentation covers practical implementations, database interactions, and the underlying technology that powers Gleam's capabilities. By the end of this comprehensive introduction, gain all the resources needed to continue your Gleam journey, including the Gleam language tour and Exercism track, and potentially become a true "Gleamlin."
