Key differences between Elm and Java
Characteristic | Elm | Java |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with a strong focus on immutability and functional programming. | Java has a syntax similar to C++, with a focus on object-oriented programming. |
Paradigm | Elm is a purely functional programming language. | Java is an object-oriented programming language with support for imperative and procedural programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that prevents runtime errors. | Java has a static type system with support for both static and dynamic typing. |
