Key differences between Elixir and Gleam
| Characteristic | Elixir | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Ruby-like, expressive, uses macros and metaprogramming | ML-inspired, concise, statically structured, no macros |
| Paradigm | Functional, concurrent, actor model (Erlang VM) | Functional, concurrent, actor model (Erlang VM) |
| Typing | Dynamically typed | Statically typed with strong type inference |
| Performance | Good, leverages BEAM VM, mature optimizations | Similar to Elixir, sometimes faster due to static typing |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem (Phoenix, Ecto, Nerves, etc.) | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries with some effort |
| Community and support | Large, active, mature community with extensive resources | Small but growing community, less mature support |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with Ruby or functional programming | Steeper due to static typing and ML-like syntax |
