Key differences between Carbon and OCaml

CharacteristicCarbonOCaml
SyntaxC++-like, designed for familiarity with C-family languages, aims for clarity and modern features.Distinctive ML-family syntax, uses pattern matching and functional constructs, less familiar to C/C++/Java developers.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm with a focus on performance and safety, supports object-oriented and generic programming.Primarily functional, also supports imperative and object-oriented programming.
TypingStatic, strong typing with type inference, aims for safety and expressiveness.Static, strong typing with powerful type inference, supports algebraic data types and pattern matching.
PerformanceAims for performance comparable to C++, suitable for systems programming.Good performance for a functional language, but generally not as fast as C++-like languages for low-level tasks.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as the language is still experimental and under development.Mature ecosystem with a range of libraries, though smaller than mainstream languages.
Community and supportVery small, early-stage community; limited resources and support.Established academic and industrial community, good documentation and support channels.
Learning curveEasier for C++/C developers due to familiar syntax and concepts.Steeper for those unfamiliar with functional programming or ML-family languages.
