This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Clojure | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent. | C-like, modern and familiar to C++/Java/C# developers, more conventional syntax. |
| Paradigm | Functional-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++. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional static typing via spec and core.typed. | Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern type system features. |
| Performance | Runs 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 frameworks | Rich 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 support | Mature, active community with good documentation and support channels. | Very new, small but growing community, limited support and resources as of now. |
| Learning curve | Steep 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. |
