Key differences between Golang and Erlang
Characteristic | Golang | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Golang has a C-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability. | Erlang has a unique syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | Golang is primarily imperative and procedural, with support for object-oriented programming. | Erlang is a functional programming language with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Typing | Golang has static typing with type inference. | Erlang has dynamic typing. |
Performance | Golang is known for its high performance and efficiency. | Erlang is optimized for concurrency and fault-tolerance rather than raw performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Golang has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks. | Erlang has a mature ecosystem with libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. |
Community and support | Golang has a large and active community with good support. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support. |
Learning curve | Golang has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-like languages. | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. |
