Key differences between Haskell and Elm
Characteristic | Haskell | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell has a more complex and flexible syntax compared to Elm. | Elm has a simpler and more restricted syntax compared to Haskell. |
Paradigm | Haskell supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and declarative. | Elm is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Haskell has a strong static type system with type inference. | Elm has a strong static type system with type inference. |
Performance | Haskell 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 frameworks | Haskell 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 support | Haskell 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 curve | Haskell 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. |
