Key differences between Groovy and Elixir
Characteristic | Groovy | Elixir |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Groovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing. | Elixir has a syntax inspired by Ruby with a focus on functional programming and pattern matching. |
Paradigm | Groovy supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming paradigms. | Elixir is a functional programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine. |
Typing | Groovy is a dynamically typed language. | Elixir is a dynamically typed language. |
