Key differences between Elm and Rust
Characteristic | Elm | Rust |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with a strong focus on simplicity and readability. | Rust has a syntax similar to C++, with a strong focus on memory safety and performance. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions. | Rust is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional and imperative programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that prevents runtime errors. | Rust has a strong static type system that prevents memory safety issues and data races. |
Performance | Elm is designed for building web applications and focuses on performance optimizations. | Rust is designed for systems programming and provides fine-grained control over performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a small but growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for web development. | Rust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various domains, including web development. |
Community and support | Elm has a supportive community and provides official documentation and resources. | Rust has a large and active community with extensive documentation and resources. |
Learning curve | Elm has a gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. | Rust has a steep learning curve due to its focus on memory safety and low-level programming concepts. |
