Key differences between Grain and Zig
| Characteristic | Grain | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Grain has a syntax inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, featuring pattern matching, type inference, and functional constructs. | Zig has a C-like syntax with modern improvements, focusing on simplicity, explicitness, and readability. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, with strong support for immutability and first-class functions. | Imperative and procedural, with some support for generic programming and manual memory management. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference and a strong, sound type system. | Statically typed with explicit types and no type inference; focuses on safety and predictability. |
| Performance | Compiles to WebAssembly, optimized for web and WASM environments; performance is good for WASM but not as fast as native code. | Compiles to native code with a focus on performance, low-level control, and minimal runtime overhead. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, mainly focused on WebAssembly and some standard libraries. | Growing standard library, can use C libraries directly, but fewer high-level frameworks compared to more mature languages. |
| Community and support | Small and emerging community, limited resources and support. | Rapidly growing community, increasing resources, and active development. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep for those unfamiliar with functional programming or OCaml-like syntax. | Moderate, especially for those with C or systems programming background; explicitness can help learning but manual memory management adds complexity. |
