Experimenting with Gleam

I am now trying to experiment with using Gleam.

Gleam is a small language that can compile to both the BEAM and Javascript systems.

My current blocker is that my mac is too old for the brew version to install.
I am currently waiting to see if I can build it from source.

This language is unusual in being defined by what it does not support:

• Loops
• Any type
• Exceptions

Summary:

brew install <- Failed as does not support macOS 13

first attempt a make build – failed with `error[E0658]: use of unstable library feature `unsigned_is_multiple_of`

Now trying rustup update before installing.

Rustup update did compile successfully.

Next step is make install

Rust may claim to be fast, but that does not apply to the compiler.

Yep this has installed!
