Rust for now, by a wide margin. But I'm following other languages that I think have the potential to surpass it, including Vale (promises way more than it delivers currently), Koka, Hylo, maybe Lobster.

Gleam?

I dunno it looks well designed but I dunno why I would use it instead of Rust.

Honest question, what would make you pick Gleam over Elixir? Both seem to have significant overlap

Isn't Elixer dynamically typed?

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, I forgot that detail, makes sense. Does Gleam already have something equivalent to Phoenix for elixir?
