Characteristic | Grain | TypeScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Syntax is inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, featuring pattern matching, algebraic data types, and functional constructs. | Syntax is a superset of JavaScript, closely resembling JavaScript with added type annotations. |
Paradigm | Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Multi-paradigm; supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and algebraic data types. | Statically typed (optional), with structural typing and gradual typing system. |
Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, offering near-native performance for web applications. | Compiles to JavaScript, performance depends on the JavaScript engine; no direct performance gains over JavaScript. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks available, mostly focused on core language features. | Extensive ecosystem; can use any JavaScript library or framework, with many having TypeScript type definitions. |
Community and support | Small and emerging community, limited resources and support. | Large and active community, extensive documentation, and strong support from Microsoft and the open-source community. |
Learning curve | Steeper learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with functional programming concepts. | Gentle learning curve for JavaScript developers; familiarity with JavaScript eases adoption. |
