Key differences between Haskell and Zig

CharacteristicHaskellZig
SyntaxConcise, functional, uses significant whitespace and pattern matching; emphasizes immutability and purity.C-like, imperative, explicit, minimalistic; focuses on clarity and direct control over code structure.
ParadigmPurely functional, declarative, lazy evaluation by default.Imperative, procedural, with manual memory management; not functional.
TypingStatically typed, strong type inference, advanced type system (e.g., type classes, algebraic data types).Statically typed, no type inference, simpler type system, explicit types.
PerformanceGood performance for functional code, but can be unpredictable due to laziness and garbage collection.High performance, predictable, no garbage collector, close to C in efficiency.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for functional programming, web, and data science, but some libraries may be outdated or less maintained.Smaller ecosystem, growing standard library, limited third-party libraries compared to older languages.
Community and supportEstablished academic and open-source community, good documentation, but smaller and more niche.Young and rapidly growing community, active development, but fewer resources and contributors.
Learning curveSteep, especially for those new to functional programming and advanced type systems.Moderate, easier for those familiar with C-like languages, but manual memory management can be challenging.
