Key differences between Gleam and Lisp

CharacteristicGleamLisp
SyntaxModern, clean, and similar to languages like Rust or Elm; uses indentation and punctuation familiar to mainstream languages.Parenthesis-heavy prefix notation (S-expressions); minimal syntax, code and data share the same structure.
ParadigmFunctional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions; designed for reliability and concurrency.Multi-paradigm, but primarily functional; also supports procedural and meta-programming via macros.
TypingStatically typed with strong, inferred types; catches many errors at compile time.Dynamically typed; types are checked at runtime, offering flexibility but less compile-time safety.
PerformanceCompiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode; inherits Erlang's high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may have some overhead compared to lower-level languages.Performance varies by implementation; some (like SBCL) are fast, but dynamic typing and runtime features can introduce overhead.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem; can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries, but native Gleam libraries are limited.Mature, but fragmented ecosystem; many libraries exist, but quality and maintenance vary by dialect.
Community and supportGrowing but small community; active development and friendly support, but fewer resources than older languages.Long-standing, global community; lots of historical resources, but less mainstream activity today.
Learning curveGentle for those familiar with modern typed functional languages; approachable syntax.Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts like macros; powerful for experienced users.
