Characteristic | Grain | VBA |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Modern, functional syntax inspired by OCaml and Elm, with strong type inference and pattern matching. | Classic, imperative syntax similar to early versions of BASIC, with verbose structure and limited modern features. |
Paradigm | Purely functional programming with immutability and first-class functions. | Primarily imperative and procedural, with limited support for object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and compile-time checks. | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing using 'Dim ... As' declarations. |
Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, offering high performance for web applications. | Runs as an interpreted language within Microsoft Office applications, generally slower and limited to automation tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing ecosystem, focused on web and functional programming libraries. | Rich set of libraries for automating Microsoft Office applications, but limited outside that ecosystem. |
Community and support | Small but active and growing community, with limited resources and support. | Large, mature community with extensive documentation, forums, and legacy support. |
Learning curve | Steeper learning curve due to functional paradigm and modern syntax. | Gentle learning curve, especially for beginners and those familiar with Office applications. |
