Key differences between Java and Elm
Characteristic | Java | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Java uses a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | Elm uses a functional programming syntax with no semicolons and significant whitespace. |
Paradigm | Java is primarily an object-oriented programming language. | Elm is a functional programming language. |
