Gleam looks really nice but unfortunately the complete lack of metaprogramming of any kind makes it a non-starter for me personally. I still hope it succeeds though, the BEAM is a really nice platform and maybe having a statically typed language can help increase adoption.

Afaik they plan for some sort of metaprogramming, but they don't know how it will look like and it hasn't been a priority yet.

I looked around to see if that was the case and couldn't find any indication of it, but if it's true I might just try it out again in the future (however distant that future may be) because apart from the lack of metaprogramming I really like everything else about it

This is something I read in the Discord channel.

And I have the exact same thoughts as you have.
