Compile into an exe file

[TianMaiChengGhostRidder]

Very good programming language, but how can I compile it into an exe executable? Just like the windows exe file

Gleam compiles to either Erlang or JavaScript. Both do not execute without a runtime/vm. For Erlang you will need the BEAM and for JavaScript you will either need a browser or something like Deno or NodeJS.

Once you are very familiar with Gleam and somewhat with Erlang you can try to bundle, for instance with Burrito:
https://github.com/burrito-elixir/burrito
Burrito will create a bundle that contains the vm for the specific platform/s.

... or if you don't require the BEAM's cool features, maybe via something like nexe

Tracking of a native backend for gleam is here: #109

Now, there are also Node.js single executable applications.
