OMG SONIC
finally found a language more gay and neurodivergent than rust ( this is a compliment )
the stickers look lovely

Thank you!!

On the little tutorials for things mentioned in the talk, go by example would be a great, uh, example to copy imo - a list of common basic things. It would be very complementary to tour.gleam.run because it’d be all the random useful things not in the language itself and so not in the tour, eg oh ok to read a file use simplifile, to parse json this is basic decoder, etc. The trickiest examples would probably be concurrency.
Not that it’s the only way to format a guide but gobyexample feels friendly to refer to imo

That’s what I’m thinking

The idea is great however the different you will get from go by example is if I recall correctly they don’t use any third party modules. That lean the fs example will use the standard library fs. In gleam using simplifile might break in the future if the author decides to do things
Oh wait go by example is not made by the same person as the go tour ? Well maybe you can forget all I said 😂

You’re right that gleam uses not only std lib for files json etc. All that stuff is important for doing work in the world so it makes sense for gleam by example to use 3rd party libs. As a complement to tour.gleam.run focusing on language itself and stdlib only

Well gleam_json is part of the gleam-lang GitHub organization
It’s not really third party

But yeah let’s be more pragmatic like erlang ^^

You could consider all this package to be first party (if this means something)
btw I don’t remember if I already asked to you @patent palm but why gleam_json is not in this list ? Was this forgotten or even gleam_json is in the gleam lang organization this is not a repo worth of mentioning ?

A mistake on my part

Do you want I open an issue on gleam-lang/website ?

You could make a PR? 🙂
