Key differences between Erlang and C
Characteristic | Erlang | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog. | C has a syntax that is more similar to traditional programming languages. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a functional programming language with support for concurrent programming. | C is an imperative programming language. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | C is statically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may have lower raw performance compared to C. | C is known for its high performance and efficiency. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. | C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. |
Community and support | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support. | C has a large and established community with extensive support. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers coming from imperative or object-oriented backgrounds. | C has a steep learning curve, especially for developers new to low-level programming. |
