Key differences between VBScript and Gleam
| Characteristic | VBScript | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Similar to classic Visual Basic; uses English-like keywords and is line-oriented. | Modern, concise, and influenced by ML-family languages; uses significant indentation and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Imperative and procedural. | Functional and strongly emphasizes immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically and strongly typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted; generally slow and limited to scripting environments. | Compiles to efficient BEAM bytecode (Erlang VM) or JavaScript; offers high performance for concurrent applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited, mostly for Windows scripting and automation. | Growing ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but still maturing. |
| Community and support | Legacy technology with a shrinking community; limited modern support. | Small but active and growing community; good support from maintainers. |
| Learning curve | Easy for beginners, especially those familiar with Visual Basic. | Moderate; functional paradigm and static typing may be challenging for newcomers. |
