I have compiled the above list from a mix of most frequently used languages: https://www.statista.com/statistics/793628/worldwide-developer-survey-most-used-languages/ and languages from the functional programming realm.

• Which one would be missing?
• Which one would you not add (or remove from above list) even if there was a contributor creating them?

It would be good to make some more structured way of making these, to ensure they all cover the same topics. How could we do that?

[inoas]

Write a small gleam app and maintain the topics in that app via git and let users contribute via a web interface? If it is file based we can merge back the changes to upstream?

[inoas]

One note:

to ensure they all cover the same topics

I am also doubtful that exactly the same topics is always good idea.

I think there should be a shared core but then there are topics where it is worth to explain specific differences between A and gleam but not between B and gleam.

[lpil]

Editing via GitHub is fine, the authors will be programmers. More I want them all to cover the same basic topics as a minimum, and I want it to be easy to see what topics are unfinished.

[inoas]

Maybe a small gleam application?

Hi, I just want to note that currently the "Gleam for Elixir users", "Gleam for Erlang users" and "Gleam for Rust users" pages are still having a lot of TODOs. Should we just hide the TODO marks for the time being?

[lpil]

We want to totally rethink and rewrite the cheatsheets in the near future. Removing the TODO sections sounds good! I would accept a PR for that.
