Erlang

The Gleam programming language has dropped its approach of compiling to Erlang source code, according to an announcement on the language's official website. The change marks a shift in how Gleam, a type-safe language that runs on the BEAM virtual machine, targets the Erlang ecosystem. Developers are discussing the technical implications for the language's compilation pipeline and compatibility.

The Gleam programming language team has announced that the language no longer compiles to Erlang source code, detailed in a post on the official Gleam website. The news has drawn attention from developers in programming and compiler communities, who are discussing what the change means for how Gleam code is executed on the BEAM virtual machine.
