Key differences between Ruby and Gleam

CharacteristicRubyGleam
SyntaxExpressive, human-friendly, inspired by Perl and Smalltalk, uses end keywords for blocks.Concise, statically checked, inspired by Elm and Rust, uses indentation and type annotations.
ParadigmPrimarily object-oriented, supports functional and imperative styles.Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and pattern matching.
TypingDynamically typed, types are checked at runtime.Statically typed, types are checked at compile time with strong type inference.
PerformanceInterpreted, generally slower due to dynamic typing and runtime overhead.Compiled to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, offers better performance due to static typing and compilation.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem, mature libraries and frameworks like Rails and Sinatra.Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries.
Community and supportLarge, active, and mature community with extensive documentation and resources.Growing but small community, less documentation and fewer resources.
Learning curveGentle learning curve, beginner-friendly syntax and resources.Moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming and static typing.
