That doesn’t really apply to Gleam, it’s not a type syntax for another language that can be stripped, it’s its own language that compiles to Erlang and JS

There’s no “unknown” or “any” in Gleam, it’s not possible to cheat the type system that way
Despite of the suspicion, Gleam provides a better and elegant syntax for those who are not familiar with Erlang or functional programming languages, which I loved most.
