Porffor Alpha 9 and above now supports ESM natively, so no more pre-bundling 🎉

My @gleam.run cli patch (see above thread) still supports older Porffor versions by parsing the version to detect whether pre-bundling is still required. You can also now provide a path to a non-global porf install.

Terminal showing an alias being set to the custom build of the gleam cli, then cleaning the previous gleam build and porffor cached, followed by running the `gleam export porffor` command and finally running the resulting binary which outputs `Hello from Porffor/alpha 10 (08ac7ee 2026-09-27)`
@willow.sh

I created a little shell script that can download the Porffor binary you want which you can use with the `--porf` argument. It's hard coded to Linux (I use Arch btw), but it's a couple character change if you use something ~~worse~~ else

Terminal showing an alias being set to the custom build of the gleam cli, then running `get-porffor-version 6` which downloads the binary to `./porf-alpha-6`. After that running `gleam export porffor --target wasm --porf ./porf-alpha-6` and `wasmer run build/dev/porffor/gleam_porffor.wasm` which outputs `Hello from Porffor/alpha 6 (038f415 2026-09-15)`
@willow.sh

Wasm support unfortunately broke again after Alpha 6, but you'll now be warned if you're using a Porffor version that is broken or hasn't been tested (although I don't currently distinguish between the two)

Terminal showing an alias being set to the custom build of the gleam cli, then running `gleam export porffor --target wasm` which shows a warning message saying that wasm is untested on this version with the latest known working version being Alpha 6

get involved. It's not immediately clear to me why the Summit lineup would be so homogenous, other than the obvious lack of diversity within tech as a whole, so I'm always looking for more perspectives especially if people feel disenfranchised, unwelcome, uncomfortable, etc
