Key differences between Grain and ActionScript

Characteristic	Grain	ActionScript
Syntax	Syntax is inspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml and ReasonML), featuring pattern matching, type inference, and functional constructs.	Syntax is similar to JavaScript and ECMAScript, with C-style braces, dynamic objects, and class-based structure.
Paradigm	Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions, but supports some imperative features.	Object-oriented and imperative, with support for classes, inheritance, and event-driven programming.
Typing	Statically typed with type inference, strong type safety, and algebraic data types.	Dynamically typed (ActionScript 1.0/2.0), optionally statically typed in ActionScript 3.0, but less strict than modern statically typed languages.
Performance	Compiles to WebAssembly, offering near-native performance for web applications.	Runs on the Adobe Flash Player or AIR runtime, with performance limited by the virtual machine and not competitive with modern web technologies.
Libraries and frameworks	Limited ecosystem, with a small but growing set of libraries focused on WebAssembly and functional programming.	Rich ecosystem during the Flash era, with many libraries and frameworks for animation, UI, and multimedia, but now largely deprecated.
Community and support	Small, emerging community with active development but limited resources and support.	Once had a large community, but support has dwindled significantly since the decline of Flash.
Learning curve	Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming or ML-style syntax.	Relatively easy for those with JavaScript or ECMAScript experience; approachable for beginners during its peak.
