Key differences between Elixir and Ruby
Characteristic | Elixir | Ruby |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elixir has a syntax similar to Ruby, but with some differences. It uses the pipe operator for function composition and has a pattern matching syntax. | Ruby has a more traditional syntax with a focus on readability and simplicity. |
Paradigm | Elixir is a functional programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine (BEAM). It also supports concurrent and distributed programming. | Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language with a focus on simplicity and productivity. |
Typing | Elixir is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. | Ruby is also a dynamically typed language. |
Performance | Elixir is known for its performance and scalability, especially in concurrent and distributed scenarios. | Ruby is generally slower than Elixir, especially in highly concurrent scenarios. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elixir has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Phoenix, which is a popular web framework. | Ruby has a mature ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and frameworks, including Ruby on Rails. |
Community and support | Elixir has a growing and active community with good support from the community and the core development team. | Ruby has a large and active community with extensive support and resources available. |
Learning curve | Elixir has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or functional programming concepts. | Ruby has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers with prior programming experience. |
