Key differences between Gleam and R

CharacteristicGleamR
SyntaxHas a syntax inspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml), concise and statically checked, designed for clarity and safety.Has a unique, vectorized syntax tailored for statistical computing and data analysis, often considered idiosyncratic.
ParadigmFunctional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions.Multi-paradigm but primarily functional and procedural, with some object-oriented features.
TypingStatically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls.Dynamically typed, with flexible and sometimes ambiguous type handling.
PerformanceCompiles to efficient Erlang or JavaScript code, suitable for high-concurrency and backend systems.Interpreted, generally slower, optimized for data analysis tasks rather than general-purpose performance.
Libraries and frameworksLimited but growing ecosystem, can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries.Extensive libraries for statistics, data analysis, and visualization; CRAN repository is a major resource.
Community and supportSmall but active and enthusiastic community, mostly early adopters and functional programming enthusiasts.Large, mature, and well-established community, especially in academia and data science.
Learning curveModerate, especially for those new to functional programming or static typing.Steep for those unfamiliar with its syntax and data structures, but well-documented for statistical tasks.
