Key differences between Haskell and Crystal

CharacteristicHaskellCrystal
SyntaxHaskell has a unique syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is known for its strong type inference.Crystal has a syntax similar to Ruby, with some additional features like static typing.
ParadigmHaskell is a purely functional programming language.Crystal is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language with some functional programming features.
TypingHaskell has strong static typing with type inference.Crystal has static typing with type inference, but also allows for dynamic typing when needed.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance, especially in terms of memory usage.Crystal aims to have a similar performance to statically typed languages like C or C++, but with a more expressive syntax.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more popular languages.Crystal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to more established languages, but it is growing.
Community and supportHaskell has a dedicated and active community, with good support available through forums, mailing lists, and online resources.Crystal has a smaller community compared to more popular languages, but it is growing and has active support channels.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.Crystal has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or other similar languages.
