This is a bit of an "XY Problem" question.

I have migrated all my code to Gleam, FE and BE, Bun, browser, and BEAM.

Claude knows much less about Gleam than it does about Javascript or React. However the constraints of Gleam and its Elm inspired framework Lustre are so strong, Claude gives me much better results.

The only difference is I need to adjust my initial guidance.

Any favorite gleam projects to learn from?

I've always admired the direction gleam was heading in, and the community is awesome. But with gradual typing now in elixir, I'm weighing whether or not gleam offers anything special enough to get me spending time there instead of just using elixir.

I am currently working through https://lukwol.github.io/gleam-guide/ and it's fun so far as a ReasonML/Elm/elixir enjoyer
Looks sweet. Where did you even find that?

Gleam, lustre, and tauri? Amazing

I wrote a book about setting up a small gleam project, covers organization of the project in general. A draft is live at https://escherize.com/gleam-katas
Beautiful. Will definitely work through this.
Lustre is great
How are you liking Gleam and Lustre? What went particularly well or badly?
