Characteristic | Gleam | Scala |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Simple, clean, and highly readable syntax inspired by ML-family languages; minimalistic and beginner-friendly. | Rich, expressive, and flexible syntax combining object-oriented and functional styles; can be complex and concise. |
Paradigm | Purely functional, emphasizing immutability and no side effects. | Multi-paradigm, supporting both object-oriented and functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong, sound type inference and no nulls. | Statically typed with advanced type system, type inference, and support for both strict and flexible typing. |
Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the Erlang VM (good for concurrency, not raw speed). | Runs on the JVM; generally high performance, suitable for compute-intensive and concurrent applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries but lacks mature frameworks. | Rich ecosystem with many libraries and frameworks (e.g., Akka, Play, Spark). |
Community and support | Small but growing community; limited resources and support. | Large, established community with extensive documentation, forums, and commercial support. |
Learning curve | Gentle learning curve due to simple syntax and limited features. | Steep learning curve due to complex features and advanced type system. |
