Key differences between Erlang and Java
Characteristic | Erlang | Java |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Java has a C-like syntax with curly braces and uses object-oriented programming concepts. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Java is an object-oriented programming language. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Java is statically typed. |
