Key differences between Erlang and Haskell
Characteristic | Erlang | Haskell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a syntax that is similar to Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Haskell has a syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is known for its strong type system. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Erlang has dynamic typing. | Haskell has static typing. |
Performance | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance. | Haskell is known for its focus on correctness and expressiveness rather than raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as more mainstream languages. |
Community and support | Erlang has an active community and good support from the language creators. | Haskell has a passionate community, but it may not have as much commercial support as more mainstream languages. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. | Haskell has a steep learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. |
