Gleam also. But i cant justify a non compiled language in many things i do.

gleam is compiled... to erlang bytecode
It's compiled to Erlang, not BEAM bytecode, as the latter is not a stable, backward-compatible API to target, and you lose all of the optimization work put into the Erlang compiler. It's also compiled to JavaScript, so it can run on both the front-end and back-end.
I want a static binary. Not some IR i run on some VM.
