This free online converter lets you convert code from ActionScript to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | ActionScript | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like syntax, similar to JavaScript and ECMAScript languages. | OCaml-like syntax, functional and concise, inspired by ML-family languages. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented with some support for functional programming. | Functional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed (ActionScript 2.0), optionally statically typed (ActionScript 3.0). | Statically typed with type inference, strong type system. |
| Performance | Runs on Adobe Flash Player or AIR; performance limited by the runtime environment. | Compiles to WebAssembly, offering near-native performance in web environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for Flash development, including Flex and Starling. | Smaller ecosystem, limited libraries, but can interoperate with JavaScript and WebAssembly modules. |
| Community and support | Declining community due to Flash deprecation; limited modern support. | Growing but small community, active development, modern support channels. |
| Learning curve | Easier for those familiar with JavaScript or C-like languages. | Steeper for those new to functional programming or ML-family languages. |
