Key differences between Haskell and Ruby

CharacteristicHaskellRuby
SyntaxHaskell has a more complex and mathematical syntax, with a strong focus on functional programming concepts.Ruby has a more straightforward and flexible syntax, with a focus on simplicity and readability.
ParadigmHaskell is a purely functional programming language, emphasizing immutability and referential transparency.Ruby is a multi-paradigm programming language, supporting both procedural and object-oriented programming.
TypingHaskell has a strong static type system, with type inference and type safety.Ruby has dynamic typing, allowing for more flexibility but potentially leading to runtime errors.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance, thanks to its lazy evaluation and efficient runtime system.Ruby is generally slower than Haskell due to its interpreted nature and dynamic features.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby, but it has a strong focus on correctness and reliability.Ruby has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easy to find existing solutions for various tasks.
Community and supportHaskell has a smaller but dedicated community, with strong support from academia and functional programming enthusiasts.Ruby has a large and active community, with extensive online resources and support.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve, especially for programmers without prior experience in functional programming.Ruby has a relatively gentle learning curve, with a syntax and concepts that are easy to grasp for beginners.
