What is Gleam? page could really use a definition.

Edit: On review, it seems the best description of Gleam is in the bio for the one of the presenters (which doesn't really say much about them). Apparently it's a programming language.

It's actually right there on the front page "Hello! I’m Louis, the creator of the Gleam programming language, a friendly language for building type-safe systems that scale!"
tl;dr - New(ish?) erlang-y language
Funny timing. I literally just started poking around with Gleam last night. Got it installed, I think I have the LSP set up, though I wasn't really seeing much autocomplete in nvim. Either way, I'm already pretty excited about it. I love functional languages, I like fast languages, and I like them statically typed. Gleam seems to check all those boxes, so I'm looking forward to digging in more.
