Key differences between Gleam and Wren

CharacteristicGleamWren
SyntaxInspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml and Elm); uses significant whitespace and a clean, functional style.C-style syntax; familiar to users of JavaScript, C, or Java; uses braces and semicolons.
ParadigmPurely functional; emphasizes immutability and pattern matching.Object-oriented with some scripting features; supports classes and methods.
TypingStatically typed with strong type inference; catches errors at compile time.Dynamically typed; types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceCompiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the target platform (Erlang VM is highly concurrent).Interpreted language; generally fast for a scripting language but not as performant as compiled languages.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via interop, but native Gleam libraries are still growing.Minimal standard library; few third-party libraries; designed to be embedded in applications rather than for standalone use.
Community and supportSmall but active and growing community; good official documentation; support mainly via GitHub and Discord.Small community; limited resources and support; mostly maintained by a few core contributors.
Learning curveModerate; functional programming concepts and static typing may be new to some, but syntax is approachable.Low; familiar syntax for those with experience in C-like languages; easy to pick up for scripting tasks.
