Key differences between C and Erlang
Characteristic | C | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C uses a procedural syntax with a focus on low-level programming. | Erlang uses a functional syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | C supports procedural programming. | Erlang supports concurrent and functional programming. |
Typing | C is statically typed. | Erlang is dynamically typed. |
Performance | C is known for its high performance and efficiency. | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance rather than raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available. | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C. |
Community and support | C has a large and active community with extensive support. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support. |
Learning curve | C has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners. | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique concurrency model. |
