I thought so too, but Jose Valim says "never before seen on Elixir or the BEAM", while Gleam exists and Jose undoubtedly knows about that project:

Also meta has a static typing system for Erlang. Also, dialyzer exists. So if it's "never" he means set theoreic types, but there are incomplete set theoretic type libraries for elixir

By meta do you Facebook? If so just say that, it's confusing otherwise.

I had actually started typing Facebook, then remembered that it was Whatsapp, which post name change is technically not Facebook but actually meta, so I submitted as meta for correctness

Meta is also WhatsApp, which is what I know was part of the erlang community.
