I sometimes make videos about Gleam. CTO @getrover.com
I haven't posted any Gleam videos in a little bit, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything at all!

Try this one on for size 👀

"We’ve started using Gleam to orchestrate all of the background jobs that happen in our system. Gleam’s type system, along with classic BEAM goodness like supervision trees, has given us total confidence that our code will handle just about anything we throw at it" - @ihh.dev

I have once again been nerd-sniped by @lpil.uk into writing a Gleam package.

This time, it's a lightweight, high-perf client for Redis-compatible databases, called Valkyrie!

The library includes a connection pool, and has been tested against Redis, Valkey, KeyDB and Dragonfly.

Hey folks, it's been a little while since I've released a video. Here's one talking about how to decode dynamic data in Gleam - a super important topic!

Take a look 👀

What happens when you fall into a new language by accident? @ihh.dev ’s journey into Gleam proves it might just be the best mistake you ever make. codebeamstockholm.com/talks/Jumpin...

When asked what they liked about Gleam, developers responded with:

"It's very braindead"
"Gleam is Haskell for normies"
"The core team is very fasionable"
"I don't have to configure TS"

I think I've picked the right language

The Rover bot just stopped us from shipping a buggy feature to prod (again).

You get: a better experience exploring your codebase graphs
we get: to not waste another development cycle fixing it

Rover's own @ihh.dev takes us through how we implemented our own ReBAC auth system in our latest blog post

Somehow, it's the least painful infra work we've ever done

How we rewrote OpenFGA in pure Postgres
TL;DR: We rewrote parts of OpenFGA in pure Postgres to make it easier to keep our authorization system up-to-date with our main database.

Hey folks! It's time for a new video. Statically-typed languages are fantastic. A true blessing to society.

But you're probably not using them properly.
