Key differences between Ruby and C
Characteristic | Ruby | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Ruby has a more concise and readable syntax compared to C. | C has a more complex and verbose syntax compared to Ruby. |
Paradigm | Ruby 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. |
Typing | Ruby is dynamically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | C is statically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time. |
Performance | Ruby 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 frameworks | Ruby 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 support | Ruby 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 curve | Ruby 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. |
