ParadigmR 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.
TypingR is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceR 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 frameworksR 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 supportR 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.
