Key differences between Gleam and Erlang
| Characteristic | Gleam | Erlang |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, ML-inspired, statically-typed syntax with clear structure and readability. | Prolog-like, dynamically-typed syntax that can be unfamiliar and terse for newcomers. |
| Paradigm | Functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and purity. | Functional, with focus on concurrency, fault-tolerance, and message passing. |
| Typing | Statically typed with a strong, sound type system and type inference. | Dynamically typed with optional type specifications (Dialyzer) but no enforced static types. |
| Performance | Compiles to efficient BEAM bytecode, similar performance to Erlang for most use cases. | Native to the BEAM VM, highly optimized for concurrency and low-latency systems. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interop, but fewer native Gleam libraries. | Mature ecosystem with many libraries and frameworks, especially for telecom and distributed systems. |
| Community and support | Growing but small community, active development, less corporate backing. | Large, established community with decades of production use and strong industry support. |
| Learning curve | Gentler learning curve for those familiar with modern typed functional languages. | Steeper learning curve due to unique syntax and concurrency model. |
