I use Rust and prefer Elixir over Gleam because Elixir has Lisp-style macros (Gleam doesn't), uses OTP directly, has the fantastic IEx REPL (Gleam has no counterpart), and has Phoenix, the best web framework I've ever used.

Yes, exactly my point! Being a Rust user doesn’t mean you are going to prefer or even understand Gleam.
