Key differences between Bash and Gleam
| Characteristic | Bash | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Shell scripting syntax, command-oriented, often terse and less strict. | Modern, statically-typed syntax inspired by ML-family languages, more readable and strict. |
| Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, focused on command execution and scripting. | Functional, emphasizing immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, weak typing with minimal type enforcement. | Statically typed with strong type inference and compile-time checks. |
| Performance | Slower, as it interprets commands and relies on external processes. | High performance, compiles to efficient BEAM bytecode or JavaScript. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited, mostly relies on Unix utilities and external programs. | Growing ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via BEAM compatibility. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and well-established with extensive documentation. | Smaller, newer community but active and growing. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for basic tasks, steeper for advanced scripting and debugging. | Moderate, especially for those new to functional programming and static typing. |
