Key differences between Ruby and R

CharacteristicRubyR
SyntaxRuby has a more flexible and concise syntax compared to R.R has a syntax that is more geared towards statistical analysis and data manipulation.
ParadigmRuby is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming.R is primarily a functional programming language with support for object-oriented programming.
TypingRuby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.R is also dynamically typed, but it has some support for static typing through packages like Rcpp.
PerformanceRuby is generally slower than R due to its interpreted nature and garbage collection.R is optimized for data analysis and can be faster than Ruby for certain tasks, especially when using optimized libraries like data.table.
Libraries and frameworksRuby has a large and active community that has developed many popular libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails.R has a large collection of packages for data analysis and visualization, such as ggplot2 and dplyr.
Community and supportRuby has a large and supportive community that is active in developing new libraries and frameworks.R has a large and active community of data analysts and statisticians who contribute to the development of new packages and tools.
Learning curveRuby has a relatively low learning curve due to its simple and flexible syntax.R has a steeper learning curve due to its syntax and focus on statistical analysis, but there are many resources available for learning.
