Key differences between Gleam and Bash
| Characteristic | Gleam | Bash |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, statically-typed, inspired by ML-family languages; uses indentation and clear structure. | Shell scripting syntax; command-oriented, less strict, often terse and error-prone. |
| Paradigm | Functional programming, immutable data, pattern matching. | Imperative scripting, procedural, command execution. |
| Typing | Static, strong typing with type inference. | Dynamically typed, weak typing; everything is a string. |
| Performance | High performance; compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript. | Slower; interpreted, performance depends on external commands. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries. | Limited; relies on Unix command-line tools and utilities. |
| Community and support | Small but active and growing community. | Large, mature, and well-established community. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those familiar with functional languages. | Steep for complex scripts; easier for simple command automation. |
