Gleam

Gleam v1.11.0 introduces significant performance improvements with 30% faster JavaScript compilation through optimized pattern matching using decision trees instead of linear if-else chains. The release adds new testing capabilities with built-in assert syntax, a dedicated dev/ directory for development code accessible via 'gleam dev' command, and enhanced language server features including better code actions and fault tolerance. Additional improvements include JavaScript bit array support for UTF-16/UTF-32, better documentation generation, and various developer experience enhancements.

<p>who would have thought that writing basic vanilla javascript is faster than the bloated frameworks that are widely used today?
also this concept of writing in other languages that compile to JS is old as fuck, for example Rescript Lang has existed for years, Nim Lang does the same, and I’m pretty sure there are way more out there… its just that no one really cares about performance enough to learn these languages when it would be easier to just write vanilla JS in the first place…</p>
