I'm sure Gleam fits a niche—maybe something similar to Elm?—but I can't justify using it over Elixir because I'm not willing to trade things like

1. Full access to the BEAM.

2. Full access to OTP behaviours and other features.

3. Lisp-style macros.

4. Late-bound function calls.

5. Dynamic message passing.

6. Native supervision trees.

7. Internationalization.

for static types. Doing so feels like trading my car's engine for a suction cup phone holder.
