Crystal vs. Python vs. SIMULIA vs. SQL Comparison Chart

Crystal’s syntax is heavily inspired by Ruby’s, so it feels natural to read and easy to write, and has the added benefit of a lower learning curve for experienced Ruby devs. Crystal is statically type-checked, so any type errors will be caught early by the compiler rather than fail on runtime. Moreover, and to keep the language clean, Crystal has built-in type inference, so most type annotations are unneeded. All types are non-nilable in Crystal, and available variables are represented as a union between the type and nil. As a consequence, the compiler will automatically check for null references in compile time. Crystal’s answer to metaprogramming is a powerful macro system, which ranges from basic templating and AST inspection to types inspection and running arbitrary external programs.

Powered by the 3DEXPERIENCE® platform, SIMULIA delivers realistic simulation applications that enable users to reveal the world we live in. SIMULIA applications accelerate the process of evaluating the performance, reliability and safety of materials and products before committing to physical prototypes. Delivers powerful simulation of structures, fluids, multibody, and electromagnetics scenarios including complex assemblies directly linked with the product data. Modeling, simulation, and visualization technology are fully integrated on the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform, including process capture, publication, and re-use. The value of the customer’s existing investment in simulation horsepower is maximized by allowing simulation data, results, and IP to connect to the platform and become true corporate assets that powers innovation for all users.
