Key differences between Grain and Lisp

CharacteristicGrainLisp
SyntaxC-like, statically structured, inspired by ML-family languages; uses braces and semicolons.Parenthesis-based, prefix notation, minimalistic and highly uniform.
ParadigmFunctional-first, supports immutability and pure functions, with some imperative features.Multi-paradigm, primarily functional and symbolic, but also supports imperative and object-oriented styles.
TypingStatically typed with type inference.Dynamically typed (most dialects).
PerformanceCompiled to WebAssembly, optimized for fast execution in web environments.Performance varies by implementation; can be interpreted or compiled, generally not as optimized for WebAssembly.
Libraries and frameworksLimited ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly and web development.Rich ecosystem in some dialects (e.g., Common Lisp, Clojure), with libraries for many domains.
Community and supportSmall, emerging community with limited resources.Large, established community with decades of resources and support.
Learning curveModerate; familiar syntax for those with C/JavaScript/ML experience, but new concepts for others.Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts, but simple core principles.
