Key differences between Ruby and Elixir
Characteristic | Ruby | Elixir |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Ruby has a more flexible and expressive syntax with a focus on readability. | Elixir has a syntax inspired by Ruby, but with a stronger emphasis on functional programming. |
Paradigm | Ruby is a multi-paradigm language, supporting both object-oriented and procedural programming. | Elixir is a functional programming language that runs on the Erlang virtual machine. |
Typing | Ruby is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. | Elixir is also dynamically typed, providing similar flexibility as Ruby. |
Performance | Ruby is known for its slower performance compared to some other languages. | Elixir is designed for high-performance and scalability, leveraging the Erlang VM. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ruby has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. | Elixir has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with Phoenix being a popular web framework. |
Community and support | Ruby has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support. | Elixir has a growing community with active support and a focus on developer-friendly documentation. |
Learning curve | Ruby has a relatively gentle learning curve, with a focus on simplicity and readability. | Elixir has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax. |
