Key differences between PowerShell and Gleam
| Characteristic | PowerShell | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Command-line oriented, uses cmdlets and pipeline syntax, similar to shell scripting with .NET integration. | Functional, ML-inspired syntax, concise and statically typed, similar to Elm or OCaml. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and object-oriented, supports scripting and automation. | Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with some optional static typing features. | Statically and strongly typed, with type inference. |
| Performance | Moderate, runs on .NET runtime, optimized for automation rather than raw speed. | High, compiles to efficient Erlang BEAM bytecode, suitable for concurrent and scalable systems. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive, especially for Windows and system administration tasks, leverages .NET libraries. | Growing, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but native Gleam ecosystem is still small. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, strong Microsoft and enterprise backing, extensive documentation. | Small but active, mostly open-source contributors, limited resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with Windows or scripting, steeper for those new to .NET concepts. | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming or Erlang ecosystem. |
