Gleam v1.16.0 has been released with several notable improvements. The headline feature is JavaScript source map support, enabling browsers and runtimes to map compiled JS back to original Gleam code for debugging, breakpoints, and stack traces. Other highlights include package-level fault tolerance in the compiler (so unrelated modules still compile when one fails), ~30% faster string pattern matching on the JavaScript target, new language server code actions (add/remove anonymous functions, extract function improvements, replace type holes), oversized int pattern warnings for JavaScript's 52-bit limit, constant list prepending, and improved tuple formatting.
