This free online converter lets you convert code from C to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | C | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Procedural, uses braces for code blocks, semicolons to end statements, and a minimalistic, low-level syntax. | Functional, uses indentation and significant whitespace, inspired by OCaml and Elm, with a more modern and expressive syntax. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and imperative programming. | Functional programming with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Static, weak typing with manual memory management. | Static, strong typing with type inference and memory safety. |
| Performance | Very high performance, close to hardware, suitable for system-level programming. | Good performance, compiles to WebAssembly, optimized for web and safe execution environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive libraries for system programming, networking, and embedded systems; lacks modern frameworks. | Growing but limited ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly and web development. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and well-established community with extensive documentation and support. | Small but active community, emerging support, and less documentation. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to manual memory management and low-level concepts. | Moderate learning curve, easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for others. |
