Re:Gleam doesn't compile to Erlang source anymore by tiffanyh on Tuesday October 06, 2026 @12:53PM (#49981091)
The title is a bit misleading because one might imply that Gleam no longer compiles to something Erlang can use (not true).

From the article:

> Over the last few months Giacomo Cavalieri has entirely rewritten Gleam's Erlang code generator that has an entirely different design, and most notably, outputs a different format. Previously Gleam generated Erlang source code, now it generates Erlang abstract forms.

The title says it no longer compiles to Erlang source. That's true, it now compiles to an IR of the Erlang compiler.
