Key differences between Elm and C
Characteristic | Elm | C |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with a strong focus on simplicity and readability. | C has a syntax that is more low-level and closer to the hardware, with a focus on efficiency and control. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions. | C is a procedural programming language that allows for imperative and structured programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | C has a weak static type system that allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors. |
Performance | Elm is designed for building web applications and focuses on performance optimizations. | C is a low-level language that allows for fine-grained control over memory and hardware, resulting in high performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a smaller ecosystem compared to C, but it has a strong focus on quality and reliability. | C has a large ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. |
Community and support | Elm has a smaller community compared to C, but it has a friendly and helpful community. | C has a large and established community with extensive documentation and support available. |
Learning curve | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. | C has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to low-level programming and memory management. |
