Key differences between Janet and Clojure

CharacteristicJanetClojure
SyntaxLisp-like, but with more concise and flexible syntax; uses square brackets for code blocks and tables for data structures.Traditional Lisp syntax with parentheses for code and data; emphasizes code-as-data (homoiconicity).
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: functional, imperative, and scripting; designed for embedding and scripting.Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and concurrency; also supports imperative and object-oriented styles.
TypingDynamically typed.Dynamically typed, with optional static type hints.
PerformanceVery lightweight and fast; suitable for scripting and embedding in applications.Runs on the JVM (or JavaScript/CLR); generally slower startup but good runtime performance for long-running applications.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem; fewer libraries, but easy to extend with C or native modules.Large ecosystem; can use Java libraries and has many Clojure-specific libraries and frameworks.
Community and supportSmall but active community; less mainstream support.Larger, well-established community with extensive documentation and resources.
Learning curveGentle learning curve for those familiar with scripting languages; less Lisp-like than Clojure.Steeper learning curve due to Lisp syntax, functional paradigm, and JVM interop.
