But it's in the language, and I'm almost not joking.

If you think about it, Gleam encodes worst possible meaning of communism. Those kind where one size fits all because there is no other size. Utopia where everybody are equal because there is no way to be better.

Also there is a funny thing about it. In this sense Gleam surpasses even Go, which is deliberately built to make developers as interchangable and average as possible. Can we count that as an example of horseshoe theory?..
