Gleam language drops Erlang source compilation

Original: Gleam doesn't compile to Erlang source anymore

The Gleam programming language, which runs on the BEAM virtual machine, no longer compiles to Erlang source code. The change was announced on the official Gleam website and is being discussed on Hacker News, where it has drawn several hundred upvotes. Readers are weighing in on what the shift to compiling through other means means for interoperability with the Erlang ecosystem and for developers who rely on reading the generated Erlang output.

Why now: A significant technical change to a popular BEAM language was just announced, prompting debate among developers about its impact.
