Key differences between Vala and Gleam
| Characteristic | Vala | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C#-like syntax, inspired by languages such as C# and Java, designed to be familiar to developers from those backgrounds. | ML-family syntax, similar to Elm or OCaml, with a focus on clarity and conciseness. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented and imperative, with support for GObject-based programming. | Functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Static typing with type inference, similar to C#. | Static and strong typing with type inference, inspired by ML languages. |
| Performance | Compiles to C and then to native code, offering performance close to C. | Compiles to Erlang or JavaScript, performance is similar to Erlang/BEAM or JavaScript environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Leverages the extensive GNOME and GObject ecosystem, with access to many C libraries. | Can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via the BEAM, but has a smaller set of native libraries. |
| Community and support | Smaller, niche community, mostly within GNOME and Linux desktop development. | Growing but still small community, with increasing interest in the functional and BEAM ecosystems. |
| Learning curve | Easier for developers familiar with C# or Java; may be steeper for those new to GObject or C interop. | Easier for those with functional programming experience; may be challenging for those new to the paradigm or BEAM. |
