I don’t know if replacing Elixir is even one of the top 10 reasons Gleam exists. People don’t usually pick a platform and then pick a language.

Many times a language develops into an option by bundling features. In Gleam’s case, they bundled a certain type system, extreme developer convenience, and optionally features from BEAM.
