Key differences between Grain and Python
| Characteristic | Grain | Python |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, inspired by Elm and ReasonML, statically typed, concise but less familiar to most developers. | Indentation-based, highly readable, dynamically typed, widely considered beginner-friendly. |
| Paradigm | Functional-first, supports immutability and pattern matching, with some imperative features. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference, strong type system. | Dynamically typed, optional type hints (since 3.5), but not enforced at runtime. |
| Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, generally faster for web-based workloads. | Interpreted, generally slower than compiled languages, but sufficient for many applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks, mostly focused on WebAssembly. | Extensive ecosystem with libraries and frameworks for web, data science, AI, automation, and more. |
| Community and support | Small, emerging community, limited resources and support. | Large, mature, global community with abundant resources, tutorials, and support. |
| Learning curve | Steeper, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming and static typing. | Gentle, widely regarded as one of the easiest languages to learn. |
