Key differences between Carbon and Rust

CharacteristicCarbonRust
SyntaxDesigned to be familiar to C++ developers, with modern improvements and cleaner syntax.Distinct syntax with influences from C and functional languages; emphasizes safety and explicitness.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily supports procedural and object-oriented programming.Multi-paradigm, supports procedural, functional, and concurrent programming.
TypingStatically typed with type inference and strong type safety.Statically typed with strong type safety and advanced features like lifetimes and ownership.
PerformanceAims for performance comparable to C++ with low-level control.High performance, often matching or exceeding C/C++ due to zero-cost abstractions and memory safety.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem as it is still experimental and early in development.Rich and growing ecosystem with mature libraries and frameworks for various domains.
Community and supportSmall and emerging community, mostly experimental contributors.Large, active, and supportive community with extensive documentation and resources.
Learning curveLower for C++ developers due to familiar syntax; still evolving, so resources are limited.Steep learning curve due to unique concepts like ownership and borrowing, but well-supported by documentation.
