BEAM's concurrency model makes it the ideal runtime for web servers IMO. Similarly, the ubiquity of JS in the browser makes it an excellent runtime to target as well.

I agree though that it would be amazing to compile Gleam code into universal native binaries. Would make it a fatalistic general-purpose language.

AFAIK it's entirely possible -- just more of a resourcing concern given the small team.
