Hi! I'm the Gleam guy! It out curiosity what would the language need to bring it closer to what you want?

Here's Gleam for anyone interested: https://github.com/gleam-lang/gleam

Hey man big fan! Honestly it’s just having it run in the browser, which I understand isn’t a goal of Gleam. If Gleam had a webassembly target (and maybe a little easier mutability :p), I’d definitely love to use it in my web apps.

Web assembly and running in the browser are both long term goals of Gleam! Right now the focus is on Erlang, but once we have a good enough experience there one thing I'm going to explore is different compilation targets so that Gleam can be applied to a wider range of problem spaces and constraint sets.

Ah that's wonderful! I'd definitely be interested in helping if possible.
