Key differences between Erlang and OCaml
Characteristic | Erlang | OCaml |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | OCaml has a more traditional syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | OCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | OCaml is statically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may have lower raw performance compared to some other languages. | OCaml is known for its performance and can be highly optimized. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a strong ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. | OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to some other languages, but still has a good selection available. |
Community and support | Erlang has an active community and good support from the language creators. | OCaml has a smaller community compared to some other languages, but still has dedicated users and good support. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. | OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. |
