Gleam about raxx

[lpil]

Personally I'd love to see Ace in Gleam or Erlang so I can use it in Gleam projects without the Elixir dependency. 😁

Maybe I should submit a talk proposal then it would have to be done.

I'm probably not able to do this myself at the moment. I would however love to help someone who wants to try and do it.

Thinking about it some more, I would potentially go for writing Ace in erlang and Raxx in Gleam.
Get a typed interface but a server that can be used anywhere in the bean ecosystem.
Also, if I remember correctly @lpil, gleam doesn't yet help much with spawning and send/receive which is a lot of the Ace code.

Forgot about this issue.

Raxx replacement is mostly handled by https://hexdocs.pm/gleam_http/, There is a cowboy adapter for gleam_http that would work as an ace substitute.

For a Gleam Server I started work on Lean https://github.com/midas-framework/midas/tree/master/src/midas/lean

Yes that's right. I think that may be the best approach for where we are now.

I've previously had some success decompiling Elixir beam files into Erlang. It's a bit ugly and you need to replace all the calls to Elixir modules but it does the trick!
