Rust for now, by a wide margin. But I'm following other languages that I think have the potential to surpass it, including Vale (promises way more than it delivers currently), Koka, Hylo, maybe Lobster.
- Gleam?
  https://gleam.run/
  
  Honest question, what would make you pick Gleam over Elixir? Both seem to have significant overlap
  
  Isn't Elixer dynamically typed?
  
  Oh, I forgot that detail, makes sense. Does Gleam already have something equivalent to Phoenix for elixir?
  
  I dunno it looks well designed but I dunno why I would use it instead of Rust.
