NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

Erlang/OTP is a powerful platform for building highly concurrent, scalable and fault-tolerant distributed systems. Traditionally, its languages have been dynamically typed, but Gleam introduces type safety at the language level. Built on BEAM, Gleam combines the expressiveness of functional programming with compile-time type safety, reducing run-time errors and improving maintainability. With a modern syntax, it integrates well with the OTP ecosystem, leveraging the strengths of Erlang and Elixir while ensuring strong interoperability. The Gleam community is active and welcoming, and we look forward to its continued development.
