Nice job with the error messages!!<p>I’m actually trying to learn clojure right now, and the error messages are a pretty big hurdle. Especially cause I only have passing familiarity with java. It’s crazy how much difference good error messages make. Like rust vs clojure is just wild.<p>Another hurdle is how much I miss static types. I know people love clojure (and so far I’ve found a lot to love too) but my brain feels so stunted when working without a good type system.<p>I’ve been looking at gleam for a while, and it really looks like an ergonomic language. Static types, functional, pattern matching. I’m surprised it’s not more popular, it <i>looks</i> awesome at least!!<p>As soon as I’m done with my clojure book and I’ve done a little clojure project, I’m going to get into gleam.<p>I saw codecrafters has a few gleam challenges. Maybe I’ll take the gleam tour and then dive in with one of those.
