Key differences between OCaml and Gleam
| Characteristic | OCaml | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Traditional ML-style syntax with some unique constructs; can be verbose and less familiar to those from C-like languages. | Clean, modern, and minimal syntax inspired by Elm and Rust; designed for readability and approachability. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and object-oriented features. | Purely functional; no object-oriented or imperative features. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and support for parametric polymorphism. | Statically typed with strong type inference; focuses on simplicity and safety, with no null or exceptions. |
| Performance | Compiles to efficient native code and bytecode; generally high performance. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the target platform, typically good for concurrent workloads. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Mature ecosystem with a wide range of libraries, especially for systems programming and academic use. | Smaller, growing ecosystem; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interop, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Established, active community with strong academic and industrial presence. | Smaller, newer community; friendly and growing, with active development and engagement. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming or ML syntax. | Gentle learning curve, especially for newcomers to functional programming; designed to be beginner-friendly. |
