Key differences between Ruby and Rust

CharacteristicRubyRust
SyntaxRuby has a more flexible and forgiving syntax, with a focus on readability and ease of use.Rust has a more strict and complex syntax, with a focus on safety and performance.
ParadigmRuby is a dynamically-typed, object-oriented language with support for functional programming.Rust is a statically-typed, systems programming language with support for functional and imperative programming.
TypingRuby is dynamically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Rust is statically-typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile-time.
PerformanceRuby is generally slower than Rust due to its dynamic typing and garbage collection.Rust is designed for high performance and memory safety, making it faster than Ruby in most cases.
Libraries and frameworksRuby has a large and mature ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Ruby on Rails for web development.Rust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on systems programming and web development.
Community and supportRuby has a large and active community with many resources and support options available.Rust has a smaller but growing community with active development and support from Mozilla.
Learning curveRuby has a relatively low learning curve, with a focus on readability and ease of use.Rust has a steeper learning curve due to its strict syntax and focus on performance and memory safety.
