Key differences between Objective_C and Gleam
| Characteristic | Objective_C | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-based syntax with Smalltalk-style messaging; uses brackets for method calls. | Erlang-inspired, statically typed syntax; clean, modern, and indentation-based. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented with some procedural elements. | Functional programming, immutable data, and strong emphasis on pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional static typing via recent additions. | Statically and strongly typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Compiled to native code; high performance for iOS/macOS applications. | Runs on the BEAM VM (Erlang VM); optimized for concurrency and fault tolerance, not raw speed. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for Apple platforms (Cocoa, UIKit, etc.). | Smaller ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, mature community with extensive documentation and resources. | Growing but small community; limited resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and Apple-specific concepts. | Moderate; easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for others. |
