I'm jumping in the Gleam wagon as soon as something like Elixir's Phoenix LiveView is available.

Hey there, I maintain a library a called lustre [0] that does similar things to liveview. The linked docs are the API reference, but there's not currently a guide or a robust example on how to put things together (there's a bare minimum one in the repo you can find) – that'll be changing soon, I was just giving a talk about this at Lambda Days ^.^

In the interest of fairness, there's also sprocket [1] which leans much heavier into thing that you might also what a check out.

That's seriously cool! I'm going to try and give this a test this weekend.

I've been thinking of creating an app with a type-safe core in gleam, and then using elixir/phoenix for its more mature web / live interfaces.

Can you run Elixir and Gleam concurrently in the same VM and exchange messages between them?

Yes, they both run on the Beam VM and you can seamlessly call the code directly or pass messages between processes written in Gleam or Elixir (or Erlang).
