Key differences between Elm and JavaScript
Characteristic | Elm | JavaScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a statically-typed syntax that resembles Haskell. | JavaScript has a dynamically-typed syntax that resembles C. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language. | JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports both procedural and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Elm has static typing, which helps catch errors at compile-time. | JavaScript has dynamic typing, which allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors. |
Performance | Elm is designed for high-performance web applications. | JavaScript's performance can vary depending on the implementation and optimizations. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript. | JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Elm has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but it is known for its helpful and friendly community. | JavaScript has a large and active community with extensive support resources. |
Learning curve | Elm has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and unique syntax. | JavaScript has a relatively easier learning curve, especially for beginners. |
