Key differences between Elm and C

CharacteristicElmC
SyntaxElm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with a strong focus on simplicity and readability.C has a syntax that is more low-level and closer to the hardware, with a focus on efficiency and control.
ParadigmElm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions.C is a procedural programming language that allows for imperative and structured programming.
TypingElm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time.C has a weak static type system that allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors.
PerformanceElm is designed for building web applications and focuses on performance optimizations.C is a low-level language that allows for fine-grained control over memory and hardware, resulting in high performance.
Libraries and frameworksElm has a smaller ecosystem compared to C, but it has a strong focus on quality and reliability.C has a large ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes.
Community and supportElm has a smaller community compared to C, but it has a friendly and helpful community.C has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support available.
Learning curveElm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming.C has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to low-level programming and memory management.
