I don’t mean to minimize the huge effort by the Gleam team; however, Elixir cannot become Gleam without breaking OTP/BEAM in the same ways Gleam does. As it stands now, Elixir is the superior language between the two, if using the full Erlang VM is your goal.

I use many of the otp functions in gleam on thr regular, what functionality cant i call?

Gleam can call any erlang function, and can somewhat handle the idc types. [ im sure it has another name ].

Did i miss something that gleam fails on, because this is one of my concerns.

- No state machine behaviours. Gleam cannot do gen_statem.

- Limited OTP system messages. Gleam doesn't yet support all OTP system messages, so some OTP debugging messages are discarded by Gleam.

- Gleam doesn't have an equivalent of gen_event to handle event handlers.

- Gleam doesn't support DynamicSupervisor or the :simple_one_for_one for dynamically starting children at runtime.
