| Characteristic | Janet | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions with parentheses, minimalistic and concise. | ML-inspired, uses OCaml/F#-like syntax, more traditional and readable for those familiar with functional languages. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional with support for imperative and metaprogramming. | Functional-first, strongly emphasizes functional programming concepts. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted, fast for a scripting language, suitable for embedding. | Compiles to WebAssembly, generally faster and more suitable for performance-critical web applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, core libraries are lightweight, some third-party modules. | Limited but growing ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly, fewer libraries compared to mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Small but active community, good documentation, responsive maintainers. | Very small and niche community, documentation is improving, less community support. |
| Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax. | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming or ML-style languages. |
