Key differences between R and Ruby
Characteristic | R | Ruby |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, with a focus on data analysis and statistical computing. | Ruby has a syntax that is easy to read and write, with a focus on simplicity and productivity. |
Paradigm | R is primarily a functional programming language, with support for object-oriented programming. | Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented programming language with support for functional programming. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | R can be slower than other languages due to its focus on data analysis and statistical computing. | Ruby can be slower than other languages due to its dynamic nature and garbage collection. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for data analysis and statistical computing, such as ggplot2 and dplyr. | Ruby has a large number of libraries and frameworks for web development, such as Ruby on Rails and Sinatra. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community of data analysts and statisticians, with many resources available online. | Ruby has a large and active community of developers, with many resources available online. |
Learning curve | R can have a steep learning curve for those without a background in statistics or data analysis. | Ruby has a relatively low learning curve, with a focus on simplicity and productivity. |
