A Portrait of the Language Designer as a Young Man with Louis Pilfold

As part of the interview series, we interviewed Louis Pilfold, the creator of the Gleam programming language. Gleam is a fast, friendly, and functional language for building type-safe, scalable systems. It runs on BEAM, the same VM that Erlang and Elixir uses.

We talked about how humanities can help you become a better software developer, compiler development, Rust, and, of course, Gleam.
