Key differences between Ada and Grain
| Characteristic | Ada | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Pascal-like, verbose, strongly structured, emphasizes readability and explicitness. | Functional, inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, concise, uses modern syntax features. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and structured, supports object-oriented and concurrent programming. | Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and functional programming concepts. |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong type checking, supports custom types and contracts. | Statically typed, type inference, strong and expressive type system. |
| Performance | High performance, suitable for real-time and embedded systems, compiles to native code. | Runs on WebAssembly, good performance for web applications but not as fast as native code. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries, strong in safety-critical and embedded domains. | Growing but small ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly and web development. |
| Community and support | Established but niche community, strong in aerospace, defense, and academia. | Small, emerging community, mostly enthusiasts and early adopters. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to strictness, verbosity, and unique features for safety and concurrency. | Moderate, easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for others. |
