Key differences between Gleam and Rust

CharacteristicGleamRust
SyntaxClean, simple, and influenced by ML-family languages; designed for readability and ease of use.C-like, expressive, and more complex; includes advanced features like macros and pattern matching.
ParadigmFunctional, immutable by default, and designed for concurrent, fault-tolerant systems (Erlang/BEAM).Multi-paradigm (primarily systems programming), supports functional, imperative, and concurrent programming.
TypingStatically typed with strong type inference and no nulls; type system inspired by ML languages.Statically typed with strong type inference, ownership, and lifetimes for memory safety.
PerformanceRuns on the BEAM VM, optimized for concurrency and reliability rather than raw speed.Compiled to native code, offers high performance comparable to C/C++.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via BEAM interoperability.Large and rapidly growing ecosystem (crates.io), many libraries and frameworks for various domains.
Community and supportSmall but friendly and growing community, less mature support and resources.Large, active, and well-established community with extensive documentation and support.
Learning curveGentle learning curve, especially for those familiar with functional programming.Steeper learning curve due to ownership, lifetimes, and advanced features.
