Key differences between Ruby and Elm
Characteristic | Ruby | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Ruby has a flexible and expressive syntax that focuses on readability and simplicity. | Elm has a syntax inspired by Haskell and is designed to be simple and easy to understand. |
Paradigm | Ruby is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented programming, functional programming, and procedural programming. | Elm is a functional programming language that encourages immutable data and pure functions. |
Typing | Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Elm is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Ruby is known for its slower performance compared to some other languages. | Elm is designed to be highly optimized and can have good performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ruby has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails for web development. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to more established languages. |
Community and support | Ruby has a large and active community with many resources and support available. | Elm has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the core team. |
Learning curve | Ruby has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with prior programming experience. | Elm has a steeper learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming. |
