I would not expect Mix to become a front-end build tool by adding Gleam support. I think the workflow should be the same as it is today etc, with the desired build tool (esbuild, webpack, Adding frontend dependencies to the BEAM application dependency tree would either be wasted work compiling and managing them, or the programmer would need to go through every dependency in the lock file and add configuration to their

This PR adds support for the gleam language.
