Listen "16: Gleam, Games and Types with Quinn Wilton"
Episode Synopsis
We cover the news then talk with Quinn Wilton about Gleam, a static typed language on the BEAM and why Elixir devs should care about it. We learn about her Chip8 emulator that renders game ROMs to LiveView, what dynamic security analysis of web applications can look like today, static typing, library recommendations and much more!
