This free online converter lets you convert code from Grain to Scheme in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Grain | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like, modern, and concise syntax designed for readability and familiarity to JavaScript/TypeScript developers. | Minimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp syntax with prefix notation and very simple core constructs. |
Paradigm | Functional-first, with support for algebraic data types, pattern matching, and immutability. | Multi-paradigm, but primarily functional with strong support for recursion and first-class procedures. |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference and a strong, sound type system. | Dynamically typed, with types checked at runtime. |
Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly for efficient execution in browsers and other WASM environments. | Performance varies by implementation; typically interpreted, but some compilers exist. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, but growing; focused on WebAssembly and modern web development. | Smaller standard library; some libraries exist, but ecosystem is less extensive than mainstream languages. |
Community and support | Small but active and modern community, mostly centered around WebAssembly enthusiasts. | Long-standing academic and hobbyist community with many dialects and resources. |
Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with modern statically typed languages; some learning curve for WebAssembly concepts. | Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and minimalism, but simple core concepts once understood. |
