Key differences between Grain and Scheme

CharacteristicGrainScheme
SyntaxC-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.
ParadigmFunctional-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.
TypingStatically typed with type inference and a strong, sound type system.Dynamically typed, with types checked at runtime.
PerformanceCompiles to WebAssembly for efficient execution in browsers and other WASM environments.Performance varies by implementation; typically interpreted, but some compilers exist.
Libraries and frameworksLimited 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 supportSmall but active and modern community, mostly centered around WebAssembly enthusiasts.Long-standing academic and hobbyist community with many dialects and resources.
Learning curveGentle 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.
