Why are you just making stuff up? How do you think we got tainted canvases to begin with?

Shout out to Giacomo's twitch streams. He has taught me about some features of Gleam, Rust, and on top of that he's just a very chill person. He takes time away from his focus to answer questions politely and without judgement. There are dozens of programming streams where the streamer forgets to leave their ego at the door and he is not one of them. I highly recommend following it.

Thank you so much!! Reading this really made my day <3

Thank you for Squirrel as well!

massive +1, been watching his streams from time to time, and the man is the definition of a humble and chill person

Aww thank youuu

...And he animates his presentations by hand-drawing each frame transition, which speaks volumes.

[edit - this might have been ambiguous. I meant that it shows he really cares about the fine details.]

Do you have an example you especially like?

Yes! https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/gleam-and-the-value-of-small/...

Here's his presentations page: https://giacomocavalieri.me/speaking

Thank you. Watched a few and I should probably go through the list. Really a great speaker.

not from a presentation but he made this nice little syntax postcard https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did:plc:vzaxc2i...

The Gleam community is generally very very nice. I maintain about 200k lines of Gleam[0][1], and they have generally accommodated even my stupidest posts on Discord.

The language itself is as welcoming. Even LLMs are less cranky and output nicer code, not having to deal with React.
