Key differences between Carbon and C

CharacteristicCarbonC
SyntaxModern, C++-inspired syntax with improvements for readability and safety.Minimalistic, procedural syntax with manual memory management and low-level constructs.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm (supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming).Procedural programming.
TypingStatic, strong typing with type inference and safer type system.Static, weak typing with less strict type safety.
PerformanceAims for performance similar to C++ (close to C), with modern optimizations.Very high performance, close to hardware, minimal abstraction.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as it is a new language; aims for C++ interoperability.Extensive, mature standard library and many third-party libraries.
Community and supportSmall, emerging community; early-stage support.Large, established community with decades of support and resources.
Learning curveModerate, designed to be easier than C++ but may be harder than C for beginners.Steep for beginners due to manual memory management and low-level concepts.
