Gleam v1.19.0 introduces a major compiler overhaul: the Erlang code generator has been rewritten to emit Erlang abstract forms instead of Erlang source code, skipping the front-half of the Erlang compiler. This delivers faster build times, accurate line numbers in crash reports and stacktraces, and opens the door for full debugger support.
Background
Gleam is a type-safe functional programming language targeting the BEAM VM and JavaScript runtimes. The Erlang compilation pipeline has historically been one of its core strengths.
