Key differences between Clojure and Erlang
Characteristic | Clojure | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and immutability. | Erlang has a Prolog-like syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. | Erlang is a concurrent and fault-tolerant programming language. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed. | Erlang is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Clojure has good performance due to its JVM integration. | Erlang has good performance in terms of concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring and Compojure. | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but it has powerful built-in libraries for building distributed systems. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community with regular updates and contributions. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with strong support from Ericsson, the creator of Erlang. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like languages. | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming and concurrency. |
