Key differences between Kotlin and Ruby
Characteristic | Kotlin | Ruby |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Kotlin has a syntax similar to Java, but with more concise and expressive syntax. It also supports functional programming concepts. | Ruby has a more flexible and expressive syntax than Kotlin, with a focus on readability and ease of use. |
Paradigm | Kotlin is a statically-typed, object-oriented language that also supports functional programming concepts. | Ruby is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented language that also supports functional programming concepts. |
Typing | Kotlin is a statically-typed language, which means that type checking is done at compile-time. | Ruby is a dynamically-typed language, which means that type checking is done at runtime. |
Performance | Kotlin is generally faster than Ruby due to its static typing and compiled nature. | Ruby is generally slower than Kotlin due to its dynamic typing and interpreted nature. |
Libraries and frameworks | Kotlin has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, including Spring Boot, Ktor, and Android Jetpack. | Ruby has a large number of libraries and frameworks, including Ruby on Rails, Sinatra, and Hanami. |
Community and support | Kotlin has a growing community and is backed by Google, which provides strong support. | Ruby has a large and active community, with many resources and support available. |
