Key differences between Nim and Gleam

CharacteristicNimGleam
SyntaxPython-like, indentation-based, readable and expressive with optional curly braces.Inspired by ML-family languages, statically indented, concise, and designed for clarity.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.Functional, strongly influenced by Erlang/Elixir, emphasizes immutability and pattern matching.
TypingStatically typed with type inference, supports generics and metaprogramming.Statically typed with strong type inference, no runtime type errors, no nulls.
PerformanceCompiles to C, C++, or JavaScript; produces fast native binaries with performance close to C.Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; performance similar to Erlang, optimized for concurrency rather than raw speed.
Libraries and frameworksGrowing standard library, access to C libraries, some frameworks for web and GUI, but ecosystem is smaller than mainstream languages.Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but native Gleam libraries and frameworks are limited.
Community and supportActive but relatively small community, good documentation, active development.Very small but enthusiastic community, documentation is improving, project is young and evolving.
Learning curveGentle for those familiar with Python or Pascal, but advanced features and metaprogramming can be complex.Easy to pick up for those with functional programming background, but Erlang/BEAM concepts may be new to some.
