Comparison of Python, Elixir, and Gleam

[Work in Progress]

Description

Recently saw the release of Gleam and I wanted to compare that with Python, a language I am familiar with, and Elixir as I am interested in learning. Elixir and Gleam seem similar in many regards so I figured why not compare all three. This will be a very simple CLI app which tells you how many hours over the next 7 days will be foggy, and when the first time it will be. It will also save some data to sqlite.

This simple exploration will be as follows:

• Create a CLI app in all three languages
• The goal of the app is to have the two following commands
  • foggy which calls the open meteo api for a given location lat long for the next week. It logs the location name, lat long, date, and number of hours in a sqlite db.
  • list which prints out all the data from the sqlite db.
