Key differences between Erlang and Clojure
Characteristic | Erlang | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Clojure is a functional programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Clojure is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance in concurrent and distributed systems. | Clojure's performance is comparable to Java due to its JVM integration. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building scalable and fault-tolerant systems. | Clojure has access to the vast Java ecosystem, including libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with strong support from Ericsson. | Clojure has an active and growing community with good support from the Clojure core team. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like languages. |
