Key differences between Scheme and Erlang

CharacteristicSchemeErlang
SyntaxScheme uses prefix notation and has a simple and minimalist syntax.Erlang uses a Prolog-like syntax with pattern matching and has a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance.
ParadigmScheme is a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming.Erlang is a concurrent and functional programming language with a focus on fault-tolerance.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed.Erlang is dynamically typed.
PerformanceScheme is generally slower than languages like C or Java.Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may not be as performant as low-level languages.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to some other languages.Erlang has a strong ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community compared to more mainstream languages.Erlang has an active community and strong support from Ericsson, the company behind its development.
Learning curveScheme has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers new to functional programming.Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers new to concurrent and fault-tolerant programming.
