Key differences between Elixir and Grain

CharacteristicElixirGrain
SyntaxRuby-like, concise, and expressive with significant whitespace and pattern matching.OCaml/ReasonML-inspired, functional, with strong type inference and ML-style syntax.
ParadigmFunctional, concurrent, process-oriented (actor model), immutable data.Functional, strongly typed, with emphasis on immutability and pure functions.
TypingDynamically typed with optional type specifications (not enforced at runtime).Statically and strongly typed with type inference and enforced at compile time.
PerformanceRuns on the BEAM VM, optimized for concurrency and fault tolerance, not raw speed.Compiles to WebAssembly, aiming for fast startup and efficient execution in browser and server environments.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem, especially for web (Phoenix), distributed systems, and real-time applications.Smaller ecosystem, limited libraries, focused on WebAssembly and language experimentation.
Community and supportLarge, active community with strong support, documentation, and resources.Small, emerging community with limited resources and support.
Learning curveModerate; easier for those familiar with Ruby or functional programming.Steep; requires understanding of functional programming and ML-family languages.
