TypingStatically typed with type inference; types are checked at compile time.Dynamically typed; types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceCompiles to WebAssembly, offering near-native performance in supported environments.Interpreted or JIT-compiled; performance is generally good but can be slower than WebAssembly for compute-heavy tasks.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks available due to its youth and niche use.Extensive ecosystem with thousands of libraries and frameworks for all kinds of applications.
Community and supportSmall and growing community; limited resources and support.Large, mature, and active community with abundant resources, tutorials, and support.
Learning curveSteeper learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming or OCaml-like syntax.Gentle learning curve for beginners; widely taught and used as an entry point to programming.
