Key differences between Clojure and Carbon

CharacteristicClojureCarbon
SyntaxLisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent.C-like, modern and familiar to C++/Java/C# developers, more conventional syntax.
ParadigmFunctional-first, supports immutable data structures, also supports concurrency and some OOP features.Multi-paradigm, designed for both procedural and object-oriented programming, aims to be a successor to C++.
TypingDynamically typed, with optional static typing via spec and core.typed.Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern type system features.
PerformanceRuns on the JVM, good performance but not as fast as low-level languages; startup time can be slow.Designed for high performance, aims to match or exceed C++ performance for systems programming.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem via Java interoperability, many libraries for web, data, and concurrency.Ecosystem is nascent, but aims for compatibility with C++ libraries and tooling.
Community and supportMature, active community with good documentation and support channels.Very new, small but growing community, limited support and resources as of now.
Learning curveSteep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax and functional programming concepts.Moderate for C++/C developers, designed to be approachable for those familiar with modern C-like languages.
