Key differences between Elixir and Janet
| Characteristic | Elixir | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Ruby-like, expressive, uses significant whitespace and do/end blocks. | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions, minimal and concise. |
| Paradigm | Functional, concurrent, actor model (built on Erlang VM). | Multi-paradigm (functional, imperative, scripting), supports coroutines. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | High concurrency, good for distributed systems, not as fast as low-level languages. | Very fast for a scripting language, compiles to bytecode, suitable for embedding. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for web (Phoenix), real-time, and distributed applications. | Smaller ecosystem, fewer libraries, but easy to extend with C and embed. |
| Community and support | Large, active community, strong documentation, commercial support available. | Small but growing community, limited resources, mostly open-source support. |
| Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those new to functional programming or Erlang VM. | Gentle for those familiar with Lisp, but s-expressions can be unfamiliar to others. |
