LT: Gleaming Github Actions
summary
Pontil is a Gleam-based toolkit that compiles to JavaScript and replaces actions-core so you can ship GitHub Actions without TypeScript; the codebase splits into four libraries that handle action wiring, and one utility named Take provides XUnit-style capture IO for unit tests. A concrete use case is a replicated action that manages a list of 4,900 stars on GitHub. Development uses AI for drafts but includes full manual review, and the compiled actions run in GitHub just like native JavaScript.
