I suspect you've also had zero reason to use the vast majority of programming languages at work in any meaningful capacity outside of the normal top ones. That's normally how tech decisions work. That certainly doesn't negate the possible benefits of other languages.

Others use Erlang and Elixir quite effectively and successfully in several billion dollar businesses apart from nerd aspects. It will be interesting to me personally if Gleam also has its day in the sun.
