Key differences between Ruby and C

CharacteristicRubyC
SyntaxRuby has a more concise and readable syntax compared to C.C has a more complex and verbose syntax compared to Ruby.
ParadigmRuby is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented language with support for functional programming.C is a statically-typed, procedural language with limited support for object-oriented programming.
TypingRuby is dynamically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.C is statically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time.
PerformanceRuby is generally slower than C due to its interpreted nature and garbage collection.C is generally faster than Ruby due to its compiled nature and lack of garbage collection.
Libraries and frameworksRuby has a large and active community with many libraries and frameworks available, such as Ruby on Rails.C has a smaller community and fewer libraries and frameworks available compared to Ruby.
Community and supportRuby has a large and supportive community with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.C has a smaller community and fewer resources available compared to Ruby.
Learning curveRuby has a relatively low learning curve due to its readable syntax and high-level abstractions.C has a steeper learning curve due to its complex syntax and low-level abstractions.
