Key differences between Gleam and Carbon

CharacteristicGleamCarbon
SyntaxClean, ML-inspired syntax similar to Elm and OCaml, designed for readability and simplicity.C++-like syntax, designed to be familiar to C++ developers and to ease migration from C++.
ParadigmFunctional programming, immutable by default, strong emphasis on pure functions.Multi-paradigm, supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, with a focus on modern systems programming.
TypingStatically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls.Statically typed with strong type safety, designed to improve on C++'s type system.
PerformanceRuns on BEAM (Erlang VM), optimized for concurrency and fault tolerance rather than raw speed.Aims for high performance, targeting native code and low-level systems programming, similar to C++.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries.Very early stage, limited libraries, but aims for interoperability with existing C++ libraries.
Community and supportSmall but growing community, active development, good documentation.Very early stage, small community, backed by Google, limited real-world usage.
Learning curveGentle for those familiar with functional programming; approachable syntax and clear error messages.Easier for C++ developers due to similar syntax, but still evolving and may require learning new concepts.
