Key differences between Erlang and Zig

CharacteristicErlangZig
SyntaxFunctional, uses pattern matching, lightweight syntax with lots of commas and periods, not C-like.Imperative, C-like syntax, explicit and minimalistic, designed for clarity and simplicity.
ParadigmFunctional, concurrent, message-passing, immutable data.Imperative, procedural, low-level systems programming.
TypingDynamically typed.Statically typed.
PerformanceOptimized for massive concurrency and fault tolerance, not raw speed.High performance, close to C, optimized for speed and low-level control.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for distributed and concurrent systems (e.g., OTP), mature for telecom and messaging.Growing but limited ecosystem, some interoperability with C libraries, fewer frameworks.
Community and supportEstablished, niche community, strong in telecom and distributed systems.Young and growing community, active development, more general systems programming focus.
Learning curveSteep, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming and concurrency concepts.Moderate, easier for those with C/C++ background, but some unique concepts.
