Is there anywhere in London I can go to try out a @frame.work 13 laptop?

I'm gently looking for a new portable Linux workstation. I love the concept of the Framework, but I wanna see how it feels hold and to type on.

I'm documenting conventions in Gleam!
Is there anything you'd especially want me to include?

It's been a heck of a year!
Time to wrap up the year, let’s look at some numbers 🤓

But before we do: thank you everyone for supporting Gleam's journey in 2025!

Huge thank you to every contributor, sponsor, supporter, to all the Gleamlins and Gleam-curious people. You rock! ⭐

Tristan Sloughter is one of the most impactful maintainers in the BEAM world. Everyone writing Elixir, Erlang, or Gleam has greatly benefitted from his work, without a doubt.

I'm now sponsoring him, and if you're a BEAMer I think you should too!

2025 has been an incredible year for Gleam adoption, but sadly not for funding, with GitHub sponsorship dropping ~10%. It's not a disaster as we're careful with finances, but it's not a good trend.

How can we do better at turning users into supporters?
A sufficiently funded ecosystem benefits all!

I just spent 2 hours debugging a systemd service that starts working if you rename it.
How's your day going?

I love these case studies, it's so cool to learn about how companies are using Gleam.
Hopefully more to come soon!
"So far, the only bugs we've seen in our Gleam codebase are mistakes in business logic - nothing that would actually crash in production," says Georges Boris, Chief Design Officer at Uncover.
