Key differences between Crystal and Haskell
Characteristic | Crystal | Haskell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Crystal has a syntax similar to Ruby, with some additional features like static typing. | Haskell has a unique syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is purely functional. |
Paradigm | Crystal supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Crystal has static typing with type inference. | Haskell has static typing with strong type inference. |
Performance | Crystal is known for its high performance and low memory usage. | Haskell is generally slower than languages like Crystal due to its lazy evaluation and purity. |
Libraries and frameworks | Crystal has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it is not as extensive as some other languages. | Haskell has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, especially for functional programming. |
Community and support | Crystal has a smaller community compared to languages like Haskell, but it is growing. | Haskell has a large and active community with strong support. |
Learning curve | Crystal has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby. | Haskell has a steep learning curve, especially for developers new to functional programming. |
