Gleam, a type-safe and scalable language for the Erlang virtual machine and JavaScript runtimes, has reached version 1.18.0. The update brings full support for record fields to the Gleam language server, along with other improvements.
Gleam 1.18.0 was released July 29. Gleam is billed as “a friendly language for building type-safe systems that scale.”
Gleam 1.18.0 brings three improvements to the Gleam language server. First and foremost, the language server now supports go-to-definition, find-references, and rename for record fields, said Gleam creator Louis Pilfold. These work on the field declaration, labelled arguments, labelled patterns, on record updates, and on record.field accesses, both within a module and across modules.
Second and third, the language server now permits renaming type variables in types, functions, and constants, and adds support for renaming modules. Now when the text editor tells the language server that a Gleam file has been renamed, it will find uses of that module and update them for a new name, Pilford said.
