I just posted #AtomVM 2025 year in review on substack: https://bettio.substack.com/p/atomvm-2025-year-in-review
#Elixir #Erlang #Gleam
I currently have some availability for an additional freelance client.
I've been doing #ruby since 2004 or so, and #rails since v1.
I'm also reasonably competent in #JS/#TS (more BE than FE), #python, and #go. If FP is your thing, I can do #elixir, #gleam, or #ocaml, though of the three, I only used Elixir (Phoenix) in production.
All that said, almost all of my recent contracts were for Fractional CTO/Engineering Lead roles.
If any of that sounds interesting, HMU.
If you like friendly, powerful, type-safe languages, you should try #Gleam. It's hard to imagine but the whole language fits in a slide.

Occasionally, people new to #gleam get confused by the `use` expression. In a recent discussion on Discord I made a color-coded graphic for one user, which helped in making them click. I figured, why not share it here too, in case it helps someone else.
Gleam 1.14.0 has been released and it looks great!

What a wonderful and adorable initiative you started by the way. Just checking it out now.. 😍
Passed it on to #CEDO @CEDO chatroom on matrix, and to Social experience design channel too.
You should check out aforementioned #gleam perhaps, at https://gleam.run as its so focused on simplicity and ease of use. Perfect for the audience to get their grips on functional programming concepts. And with a fine and very helpful community, is my first impression.
@carmenlisandrette @missionlibre
Yes, it is no fun. And there are more levels of principles to consider depending the platform. I tooted the above as I found a beautiful #gleam community on #Discord chat.

Every time I watch a talk by Giacomo I want to use Gleam more:

I won't have enough time to finish and submit my entry for #Gleam Game Jam. But dang, it's most fun with building something I've had in months (if not years).
