I am often posting that if you pick Gleam for UI, Rails or Phoenix, which will make your codebase easier to follow and more stable, I will give you discounts.
Gleam as a language is genuinely underrated for porting.
I had made a Golang htmx + templ codebase and just out of curiosity I ported it onto gleam using an open weights model (glm 5.3)
Although it struggled a little bit first because of learning some parts of gleam but overall after it searched for documentation and learnt some things on its own, it was able to completely rewrite it in just 1/2 very small prompts which is crazy.
I think phoenix can be great as well and I am doing an experiment to try to port it to many functional languages and just testing which language is the best for it but so far I am impressed by gleam!
