This post needs a bunch more context; right now it's only immediately accessible to people who don't need the announcement [1].

Gleam is a popular language amongst people who like Erlang or Elixir. They are both built for the BEAM virtual machine.

Tangled is a decentralized GitHub alternative built on ATProto (the same protocol as Bluesky)

The irony of that linked page dragging a reposted mid tweet into multiple scrollable pages of “content” and in doing so reading exactly like a celeb news article

    I think it would only be irony if it was guilty of the same issue it's complaining about in celeb news: not sufficiently explaining the context. If anything, it's too exhaustive.

    Yeah, it turns out human culture has a lot of depth and complexity, even so-called "mid" culture. If you think you can write a better explainer, I'd love to read it.

      I absolutely could, by removing everything past the first 3-5 sentences in the article. But that probably wouldn’t satisfy the site owner’s desired metrics and SEO targeting.

Yeah it should definitely start with a bit of explanation, perhaps, it should start with what this site (hn, aka, hackernews) is even about!

I have zero idea what your link has to do with the original post, which seems to just be the Gleam language on some new version control host?

    Exactly, even if one doesn't know about either of these things (gleam & tangled), all it would take is one or two searches or even better they just visit the homepage. I suppose people have become so used to reading llm generated bluff that simple things don't appeal/make sense to them anymore.
