Key differences between Carbon and Lisp

CharacteristicCarbonLisp
SyntaxC++-like, modern, uses braces and semicolons, designed for readability and familiarity for C++ developers.Parenthesis-based, prefix notation, minimal syntax, code and data share the same structure (homoiconic).
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily supports object-oriented and generic programming, designed as a successor to C++.Multi-paradigm, strong support for functional and symbolic programming, also supports procedural and object-oriented styles.
TypingStatically typed, with type inference and strong type safety.Dynamically typed (in most dialects), some dialects offer optional static typing.
PerformanceAims for high performance, close to C++ with low-level control and optimizations.Performance varies by implementation; can be fast, but generally not as optimized for low-level systems as C++-like languages.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as it is a new language; ecosystem is still developing.Mature, but fragmented across dialects; many libraries exist, especially for Common Lisp and Scheme.
Community and supportSmall and emerging community, mostly early adopters and contributors.Long-standing, but niche community; good support for major dialects, but not as large as mainstream languages.
Learning curveModerate for C++ developers, easier transition for those familiar with C-like languages.Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts, but powerful once mastered.
