Key differences between Zig and OCaml

CharacteristicZigOCaml
SyntaxC-like, minimalistic, explicit, and imperative with a focus on readability and simplicity.ML-family, functional, uses pattern matching, indentation and type inference, more abstract and expressive.
ParadigmImperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming.Multi-paradigm: functional (primary), imperative, and object-oriented.
TypingStatically typed, no type inference, explicit types, no null or undefined values.Statically typed, strong type inference, supports parametric polymorphism and algebraic data types.
PerformanceHigh performance, close to C, manual memory management, suitable for systems programming.Good performance for a functional language, garbage collected, not as fast as C or Zig for low-level tasks.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem, growing standard library, limited third-party libraries.Mature ecosystem, OPAM package manager, many libraries for functional programming, web, and scientific computing.
Community and supportSmaller, newer community, active development, responsive core team.Established academic and industrial community, strong support, extensive documentation.
Learning curveModerate, easier for those with C/C++ background, explicit and simple syntax.Steeper, especially for those new to functional programming, but aided by type inference and expressive syntax.
