Key differences between C and Elm
Characteristic | C | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C uses a procedural syntax with a lot of low-level control over memory and hardware. | Elm uses a functional syntax with a focus on immutability and pure functions. |
Paradigm | C supports procedural and imperative programming paradigms. | Elm is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | C is statically typed with weak typing. | Elm is statically typed with strong typing. |
Performance | C is known for its high performance and low-level control over hardware. | Elm prioritizes developer productivity and safety over raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C, but it has a strong focus on functional programming and web development. |
Community and support | C has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support. | Elm has a smaller but passionate community with good documentation and support. |
Learning curve | C has a steep learning curve due to its low-level nature and manual memory management. | Elm has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
