Key differences between Grain and C++
| Characteristic | Grain | C++ |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, functional-inspired syntax with type inference and pattern matching, similar to ReasonML or OCaml. | Complex, C-style syntax with manual memory management, templates, and extensive use of curly braces and semicolons. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional with some support for imperative and modular programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and immutability by default. | Statically typed with manual type declarations and support for both strong and weak typing. |
| Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, offering good performance for web applications but generally slower than native code. | Compiles to native machine code, offering high performance and low-level hardware access. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, mainly focused on WebAssembly and web development. | Extensive libraries and frameworks for a wide range of domains, including systems, graphics, and scientific computing. |
| Community and support | Small and emerging community with limited resources and support. | Large, mature community with extensive documentation, forums, and industry support. |
| Learning curve | Gentler learning curve for those familiar with functional languages; simpler syntax but less documentation. | Steep learning curve due to complex syntax, manual memory management, and advanced features. |
