Key differences between C++ and Carbon
| Characteristic | C++ | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Complex and mature syntax with legacy features; can be verbose and intricate. | Modernized, simplified syntax inspired by C++ but designed to be more readable and less error-prone. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. | Multi-paradigm: aims to support similar paradigms as C++, with a focus on modern best practices. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking, but allows some implicit conversions. | Statically typed with an emphasis on safer and more explicit type handling. |
| Performance | High performance, close to hardware, widely used for systems programming. | Aims for performance comparable to C++, with improvements in safety and maintainability. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem with mature standard libraries and third-party frameworks. | Limited libraries and frameworks as it is still experimental and under development. |
| Community and support | Large, established global community with extensive resources and support. | Small, emerging community; support is limited as the language is in early stages. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to complex syntax and legacy features. | Designed to be easier to learn than C++, but resources and documentation are currently limited. |
