Key differences between Gleam and Janet

CharacteristicGleamJanet
SyntaxHas a syntax similar to ML-family languages (like OCaml or Elm), with a focus on clarity and simplicity.Uses a Lisp-like syntax with s-expressions, parentheses, and prefix notation.
ParadigmPrimarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions.Multi-paradigm, supporting functional, imperative, and metaprogramming styles.
TypingStatically typed with strong, inferred types and a focus on type safety.Dynamically typed, with types checked at runtime.
PerformanceCompiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode or JavaScript; performance is similar to other BEAM languages, optimized for concurrency.Interpreted or compiled to bytecode for its own VM; generally fast for a scripting language, suitable for embedding.
Libraries and frameworksRelatively young ecosystem, but can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interop.Smaller standard library, but includes batteries for scripting and embedding; fewer third-party libraries.
Community and supportGrowing but still small community, with active development and good documentation.Niche but enthusiastic community, mostly centered around scripting and embedding use cases.
Learning curveModerate, especially for those new to functional programming or static typing.Steep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax, but simple core concepts for scripting.
