Key differences between Wren and Gleam

CharacteristicWrenGleam
SyntaxC-like, concise, and familiar to users of JavaScript or C-family languages.Inspired by ML-family languages, with a clean, indentation-insensitive syntax similar to Elm or OCaml.
ParadigmObject-oriented with some scripting features.Functional, emphasizing immutability and pattern matching.
TypingDynamically typed.Statically typed with strong type inference.
PerformanceInterpreted, generally fast for a scripting language but not as fast as compiled languages.Compiled to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, offering good performance for concurrent and functional workloads.
Libraries and frameworksLimited standard library, few third-party libraries due to its young ecosystem.Can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via BEAM, but native Gleam libraries are still growing.
Community and supportSmall but active community, limited resources and support.Growing community, benefits from Erlang/Elixir ecosystem, more resources emerging.
Learning curveGentle for those familiar with C-like languages; simple and approachable.Steeper for those new to functional programming, but approachable for those with ML or Elm experience.
