Key differences between Carbon and Zig

CharacteristicCarbonZig
SyntaxC++-like, designed to be familiar to C++ developers with modern improvements.C-like, minimalistic and explicit, with a focus on simplicity and readability.
ParadigmPrimarily imperative and object-oriented, with support for generic programming.Imperative and procedural, with strong emphasis on manual control and no built-in OOP.
TypingStatically typed with type inference and generics.Statically typed, no type inference for variables, but supports generics via comptime.
PerformanceAims for performance comparable to C++, targeting systems programming.High performance, often matching or exceeding C, with predictable and explicit control.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, as the language is experimental and early-stage; relies on interoperability with C++.Growing standard library, can use C libraries directly, but lacks extensive third-party frameworks.
Community and supportSmall, early-stage community, mostly researchers and early adopters.Active and growing community, with increasing adoption and open-source contributions.
Learning curveEasier for C++ developers, but still evolving and lacks mature resources.Moderate; simple syntax but requires understanding of low-level concepts and manual memory management.
