Key differences between Racket and Gleam
| Characteristic | Racket | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and uniform. | Erlang/ML-inspired, uses indentation and punctuation, more conventional and readable for those familiar with modern functional languages. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional but supports imperative and object-oriented styles. | Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed (with optional static typing via Typed Racket). | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted or compiled to bytecode, generally slower than native languages. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode, inherits Erlang's performance characteristics, suitable for concurrent and distributed systems. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for language design, education, and scripting; many libraries available via Racket package manager. | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang and Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Established, active academic and educational community, good documentation and support. | Growing but smaller community, active development, good documentation but less mature support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax, but excellent educational resources. | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming, approachable syntax, but less beginner-focused material. |
