In Elixir you just call the Erlang function directly. It's basically the same as calling an Elixir function, just with a different naming convention.
In Gleam, you first have to declare the function type and THEN you can call the function directly.
This is probably the lightest way you can bridge between statically and dynamically typed languages, but it's not the same as Elixir.
