Key differences between Gleam and Elm

CharacteristicGleamElm
SyntaxSyntax is inspired by ML-family languages and is designed to be simple, clean, and familiar to users of languages like OCaml and Rust.Syntax is influenced by Haskell, with a focus on readability and simplicity, using significant whitespace and clear function definitions.
ParadigmFunctional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions; designed for concurrent and fault-tolerant systems.Purely functional, with enforced immutability and no side effects; designed for building reliable web frontends.
TypingStatically typed with strong, inferred types and a focus on type safety; no null or undefined values.Statically typed with strong, inferred types; enforces type safety and eliminates runtime exceptions related to types.
PerformanceCompiles to efficient Erlang or JavaScript code, leveraging the BEAM VM for high concurrency and reliability.Compiles to optimized JavaScript, resulting in fast and predictable web applications with minimal runtime overhead.
Libraries and frameworksEcosystem is growing but still limited; can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries.Has a curated set of core libraries and packages, but the ecosystem is smaller and more restrictive compared to mainstream languages.
Community and supportSmall but active and welcoming community; support is mainly through forums, Discord, and GitHub.Established and supportive community, though growth has slowed; resources include forums, Slack, and official documentation.
Learning curveGentle learning curve for those familiar with functional programming; approachable syntax and clear error messages.Beginner-friendly for those new to functional programming; excellent error messages and documentation, but concepts may be new to some.
