Gleam v1.0.0 Release: The first "stable" release of Gleam, a programming language aiming to make software system work enjoyable. It's a big milestone with a long journey behind.

• What is Gleam: A language that simplifies software work, is consistent with a small surface area, easy to learn and read. It has robust static analysis and a type system inspired by Elm, OCaml, and Rust. Runs on the Erlang virtual machine and JavaScript runtimes.
• What's in v1: Covers public APIs in the main Gleam git repository including language design, compiler, build tool, package manager, code formatter, language server, and compiler WASM API and JavaScript bindings. The standard library and other packages will follow shortly.
• v1 Meaning: Indicates stability and readiness for production. Follows semantic versioning, prioritizing backwards compatibility except for security issues.
• Next for Gleam: Focuses on productivity for users and sustainability for the project. Avoids language bloat, improves developer experience, enhances libraries, and prioritizes documentation. Focuses on the Gleam language server and development of websites and web services. Also focuses on sustainability through internal documentation and financial support.
