Key differences between C and Carbon
| Characteristic | C | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Procedural, uses braces for code blocks, semicolons to end statements, and a minimalistic syntax. | C++-like syntax with modern enhancements, designed for readability and safety, and aims to be familiar to C++ developers. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and structured programming. | Multi-paradigm, supporting object-oriented and generic programming, with a focus on modern software engineering practices. |
| Typing | Static, weak typing with manual memory management. | Static, strong typing with improved type safety and modern type system features. |
| Performance | Very high performance, close to hardware, minimal abstraction. | Aims for performance similar to C++ (and thus C), with modern abstractions that minimize overhead. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich set of mature libraries for systems programming, but limited standard library. | Currently limited libraries as it is experimental, but aims for interoperability with C++ libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, established, and active community with decades of support and resources. | Small, emerging community; still experimental with limited support and resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to manual memory management and low-level concepts. | Intended to be easier for C++ developers, but currently steep due to lack of resources and evolving language features. |
