Key differences between C and Erlang

CharacteristicCErlang
SyntaxC uses a procedural syntax with a focus on low-level programming.Erlang uses a functional syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance.
ParadigmC supports procedural programming.Erlang supports concurrent and functional programming.
TypingC is statically typed.Erlang is dynamically typed.
PerformanceC is known for its high performance and efficiency.Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance rather than raw performance.
Libraries and frameworksC has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available.Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C.
Community and supportC has a large and active community with extensive support.Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with good support.
Learning curveC has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners.Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique concurrency model.
