Key differences between Scheme and Gleam

CharacteristicSchemeGleam
SyntaxMinimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp-style syntax with prefix notation.Clean, modern, indentation-based syntax inspired by ML-family languages.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily functional with support for imperative and meta-programming.Strictly functional, emphasizing immutability and purity.
TypingDynamically typed, with optional type systems in some implementations.Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no runtime type errors.
PerformancePerformance varies by implementation; often interpreted but some compilers exist.Compiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode, offering good performance for concurrent applications.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem; some libraries exist but not as extensive as mainstream languages.Growing ecosystem; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interoperability.
Community and supportLong-standing academic and niche community, but relatively small.Young but active community, especially among BEAM and functional programming enthusiasts.
Learning curveSteep for beginners due to Lisp syntax and functional concepts.Gentle for those familiar with typed functional languages; approachable syntax.
