Key differences between Groovy and Swift

CharacteristicGroovySwift
SyntaxGroovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing.Swift has a modern and concise syntax with features like optionals, generics, and pattern matching.
ParadigmGroovy supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming paradigms.Swift is primarily an object-oriented programming language but also supports functional programming.
TypingGroovy is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and concise code.Swift is statically typed, providing better performance and compile-time error checking.
PerformanceGroovy is slower than Java due to its dynamic nature and runtime metaprogramming.Swift is designed for performance and is comparable to Objective-C in terms of speed.
Libraries and frameworksGroovy has access to a wide range of Java libraries and frameworks.Swift has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it is not as extensive as Java's.
Community and supportGroovy has an active community and good support, but it is smaller compared to languages like Java.Swift has a large and active community with good support from Apple and third-party developers.
Learning curveGroovy has a relatively low learning curve, especially for Java developers.Swift has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-based languages.
