This free online converter lets you convert code from Grain to Racket in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Grain | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | OCaml-like, functional, statically typed, concise and expressive | Lisp/Scheme-like, uses S-expressions (parentheses), minimalistic and uniform |
Paradigm | Functional-first, supports imperative and pattern matching | Multi-paradigm (functional, imperative, object-oriented, logic), but primarily functional |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference | Dynamically typed (with optional static typing via Typed Racket) |
Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, optimized for web performance | Runs on its own VM, generally slower than native or WebAssembly, but suitable for scripting and education |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, growing set of libraries focused on WebAssembly | Rich standard library, many packages for various domains (education, web, graphics, etc.) |
Community and support | Small, emerging community, mostly early adopters and WebAssembly enthusiasts | Established, active community with strong academic and educational support |
Learning curve | Moderate, easier for those familiar with ML-family languages | Steep for beginners due to Lisp syntax, but excellent educational resources |
