I'm personally a big fan of Gleam.

Bringing static typing to the BEAM is like a dream come true!

It's a young language to be sure, but I see the potential. (Maybe don't bet your startup on it.)

I would definitely bet my start up on Gleam!
Congrats on the upcoming v1 release!
but does it have a REPL?

Lots of BEAM's runtime interaction capability is lost without one.

Gleam can be used from the Erlang REPL easily, there's no additional runtime/overhead or complex translation between the two languages.
