Key differences between Nim and OCaml
| Characteristic | Nim | OCaml |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Python-like, indentation-based, concise and readable. | ML-family, uses explicit delimiters, functional style, more symbolic. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: imperative, object-oriented, functional, and metaprogramming. | Primarily functional, also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference, supports generics and metaprogramming. | Statically typed with strong type inference, supports parametric polymorphism. |
| Performance | Compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript; performance close to C. | Compiles to native code or bytecode; fast, but generally not as fast as C. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, growing standard library, some web and GUI frameworks. | Mature standard library, good support for compilers, theorem provers, and some web frameworks. |
| Community and support | Smaller, active, and friendly community; less corporate backing. | Established academic and industrial community; more resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle, especially for those familiar with Python or C-like languages. | Steeper, especially for those new to functional programming or ML syntax. |
