Key differences between Haskell and Elm

CharacteristicHaskellElm
SyntaxHaskell has a more complex and flexible syntax compared to Elm.Elm has a simpler and more restricted syntax compared to Haskell.
ParadigmHaskell supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and declarative.Elm is a purely functional programming language.
TypingHaskell has a strong static type system with type inference.Elm has a strong static type system with type inference.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and compiler optimizations.Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses more on developer productivity than raw performance.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various domains.Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Haskell, but it has a strong focus on front-end web development.
Community and supportHaskell has an active and supportive community with many online resources and forums.Elm has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the core team.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its advanced concepts and complex syntax.Elm has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its simplicity and focus on front-end web development.
