Key differences between Erlang and Grain

CharacteristicErlangGrain
SyntaxProlog-inspired, uses pattern matching, functional with explicit recursion, and unique syntax for message passing.C-like, modern and concise, designed for readability and familiarity for developers from mainstream languages.
ParadigmFunctional, concurrent, actor model for distributed systems.Functional, statically typed, designed for WebAssembly with a focus on immutability.
TypingDynamically typed.Statically typed with type inference.
PerformanceOptimized for massive concurrency and fault tolerance, not raw speed; runs on BEAM VM.Compiles to WebAssembly for fast execution in browsers and other WASM environments.
Libraries and frameworksMature ecosystem, especially for telecom and distributed systems (e.g., OTP).Young ecosystem, limited libraries, but growing with focus on WebAssembly.
Community and supportLarge, established community with decades of support and resources.Small, emerging community with active development but fewer resources.
Learning curveSteep, due to unique syntax and concurrency model.Moderate, more approachable syntax but new concepts for those unfamiliar with functional programming.
