Key differences between Gleam and Vala
| Characteristic | Gleam | Vala |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Has a syntax inspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml and Elm), focusing on clarity and simplicity. | Syntax is similar to C# and influenced by C, designed to be familiar to developers from those backgrounds. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Object-oriented, supporting classes, interfaces, and inheritance, but also allows imperative and procedural styles. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls. | Statically typed with strong typing, similar to C#; supports nullable types. |
| Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, so performance is similar to those runtimes; optimized for reliability and concurrency. | Compiles to C and then to native binaries, offering performance close to C and suitable for desktop applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Relatively young ecosystem; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries, but native Gleam libraries are limited. | Leverages the extensive GNOME and GLib libraries, making it strong for desktop and GUI applications. |
| Community and support | Small but growing community, with active development and increasing interest, especially in the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem. | Niche community, mostly centered around GNOME and Linux desktop development; less active than major languages. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming; may be steeper for those from imperative backgrounds. | Easier for developers with C# or C experience; learning curve is moderate due to GNOME/GLib integration. |
