Key differences between Gleam and Zig
| Characteristic | Gleam | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Has a clean, ML-inspired syntax similar to Elm or OCaml, designed for readability and simplicity. | Uses a C-like syntax with modern improvements, focusing on explicitness and low-level control. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, emphasizing immutability and pattern matching. | Imperative and procedural, with some support for generic programming and manual memory management. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls or exceptions. | Statically typed with explicit types, no hidden control flow, and no nulls unless explicitly allowed. |
| Performance | Runs on the BEAM (Erlang VM) or compiles to JavaScript; performance is good for concurrent workloads but not as fast as native code. | Compiles to efficient native code with performance comparable to C or C++. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Relatively young ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via interop, but fewer native libraries. | Growing but still limited standard library and third-party ecosystem; can interoperate with C libraries easily. |
| Community and support | Small but enthusiastic community, strong ties to the Erlang/Elixir ecosystem. | Active and growing community, with increasing industry interest and open-source contributions. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming; approachable syntax and strong type inference help beginners. | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to systems programming or manual memory management. |
