Paradigm | Ruby is a pure object-oriented language that follows the principle of 'everything is an object'. | PHP is a procedural language that also supports object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Ruby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | PHP is loosely typed, meaning that variable types can change during runtime. |
Performance | Ruby is slower than PHP in terms of performance due to its interpreted nature. | PHP is faster than Ruby in terms of performance due to its compiled nature. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ruby has a strong focus on developer productivity and has a wide range of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails. | PHP has a large number of libraries and frameworks, such as Laravel and Symfony, but they are not as well-integrated as Ruby on Rails. |
Community and support | Ruby has a smaller but highly dedicated community that provides excellent support and documentation. | PHP has a larger community and a wider range of resources, but the quality of support and documentation can vary. |
Learning curve | Ruby has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and object-oriented nature. | PHP has a relatively low learning curve and is easy to pick up for beginners. |
