Key differences between C++ and Janet
| Characteristic | C++ | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Curly-brace syntax, similar to C; verbose and complex with explicit type declarations. | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions and parentheses; concise and minimalistic. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, generic, and some functional features. | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming with macros. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking; supports type inference with 'auto'. | Dynamically typed; types are checked at runtime. |
| Performance | Very high performance; close to hardware, suitable for system-level programming. | Interpreted/bytecode VM; generally slower than C++ but fast for a scripting language. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive standard library and many third-party libraries for various domains. | Smaller ecosystem; core library is minimal, with some community-contributed modules. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and active community with extensive resources and support. | Small but growing community; less support and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to complexity, syntax, and advanced features. | Gentler learning curve, especially for those familiar with Lisp-like languages. |
