Key differences between PySpark and Gleam

CharacteristicPySparkGleam
SyntaxPythonic syntax with DataFrame and RDD APIs, similar to pandas but adapted for distributed computing.Statically typed, functional syntax inspired by Erlang and Elm, with pattern matching and immutable data structures.
ParadigmDistributed data processing using functional programming concepts (map, reduce, filter) on large datasets.Purely functional programming with strong emphasis on immutability and concurrency, targeting the BEAM VM.
TypingDynamically typed (Python), with optional type hints in recent versions.Statically typed with a strong, inferred type system.
PerformanceHigh performance for big data workloads due to distributed execution on Spark clusters.Efficient for concurrent and fault-tolerant applications on the BEAM VM, but not designed for big data processing.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for data processing, machine learning (MLlib), and integration with Hadoop, Hive, etc.Smaller ecosystem, mainly focused on building reliable backend services and leveraging Erlang/Elixir libraries.
Community and supportLarge, mature community with extensive documentation and enterprise support.Growing but small community, with active development and increasing resources.
Learning curveModerate for Python users, but distributed computing concepts can be challenging.Steep for those new to functional programming and static typing, but approachable for those familiar with BEAM languages.
