I think I’m going to just break down and learn erlang. I’ve been interested in it for awhile but mostly work in f#. I recently started looking at gleam but I don’t think learning it with no knowledge of OTP is a good idea.

I would learn Elixir instead (unless you want to specifically learn Erlang) as it is a sort of a more modern Erlang and you get access to all Erlang ecosystem for free. Years ago, I switched a codebase from Erlang to Elixir and it was a breath of fresh air. Note that I like Erlang a lot, but Elixir even more.

I think you can use it without OTP with very little issues,

I did write this, which is a port of the erlang design principals for gleam:
