Gleam: A statically typed language for the Erlang VM
Forgive me, I&#x27;m ignorant -- what&#x27;s erlang for. &quot;Concurrent applications&quot; is the raison d&#x27;etre I see espoused. What&#x27;s that mean?<p>Does it make concurrent applications easier to write? Does it make it easier to use the SIMD instruction set, how hard is it to get a function written in erlang to run on a gpu?<p>Is it like nodejs but more performant? I appreciate anyone who has answers here, I try to position all the relatively interesting things I don&#x27;t have much time to dive in to in a mental model with opportunities for future promotion.
