Key differences between Erlang and Golang
Characteristic | Erlang | Golang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Golang has a C-like syntax that is simple and easy to read. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Golang is a statically typed, compiled language that supports concurrent programming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Golang is statically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its excellent support for concurrency and fault-tolerance, making it suitable for building highly scalable and reliable systems. | Golang is designed for high-performance applications and provides efficient concurrency primitives. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed, fault-tolerant systems, such as OTP (Open Telecom Platform). | Golang has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on simplicity and performance. |
Community and support | Erlang has a small but dedicated community with strong support from Ericsson, the creator of Erlang. | Golang has a large and active community, with strong support from Google. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Golang has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-like languages. |
