Key differences between Erlang and Elm
Characteristic | Erlang | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a syntax similar to Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell and is purely functional. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Elm is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Erlang has dynamic typing. | Elm has static typing. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance and fault-tolerant capabilities. | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed systems. | Elm has a small but growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for front-end web development. |
Community and support | Erlang has an active community and good support. | Elm has a supportive community and good documentation. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve due to its unique syntax and concurrency model. | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
