Key differences between Crystal and Elm
Characteristic | Crystal | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Crystal has a syntax similar to Ruby, with some additional features like static typing. | Elm has a syntax inspired by Haskell, with a focus on simplicity and immutability. |
Paradigm | Crystal supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Elm is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Crystal has static typing with type inference. | Elm has static typing with strong type inference. |
Performance | Crystal is known for its high performance, comparable to that of C. | Elm focuses on performance optimizations for web applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | Crystal has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it is not as extensive as some other languages. | Elm has a small but curated set of libraries and frameworks, specifically designed for building web applications. |
Community and support | Crystal has a smaller community compared to more established languages, but it is growing steadily. | Elm has a supportive community and active maintainers. |
