One question. Why no function overloading? I’m guessing it complicates the type system?

No function overloading results in a much simpler language and easier to read code. You don’t have to track complicated unions or type classes or such.

I may be going blind and have missed it, but is there a Gleam equivalent to IEx/erl?

Yes. There is a gleam shell command. It looks to be a simple wrapper around erl.
