Key differences between C++ and Grain
| Characteristic | C++ | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and manual memory management constructs. | Functional syntax inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, with type inference and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, and some functional features. | Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Statically typed with manual type declarations and some type inference (since C++11). | Statically typed with strong type inference and algebraic data types. |
| Performance | Very high performance, close to hardware, suitable for systems programming. | Compiles to WebAssembly, good performance for web applications but not as fast as native C++. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive standard library and vast ecosystem of third-party libraries and frameworks. | Limited library ecosystem, mostly focused on WebAssembly and web development. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and active community with extensive documentation and support. | Small and emerging community with limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to complex syntax, manual memory management, and advanced features. | Moderate learning curve, especially for those familiar with functional programming. |
