Time, Hard Problems, other Hard Problems and Gleam

Gleam is a programming language and platform for solving hard problems, but maybe not the kind of hard problems that people tend to think about when hearing those words. There are hard problems of the type that people write papers about and build academic careers on, and then there are hard problems like dealing with time zones, customer requirements and major version upgrades. Gleam is a tool designed for handling the second kind of problem, and it is the best tool for the job that I have found.
