Key differences between Janet and Scheme

CharacteristicJanetScheme
SyntaxClojure-like, minimal, uses square brackets for arrays and parentheses for function calls, more concise than traditional Lisps.Classic Lisp syntax, uses parentheses for both code and data, very uniform and symbolic.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming with macros.Primarily functional, supports imperative and metaprogramming with macros.
TypingDynamically typed.Dynamically typed.
PerformanceDesigned for embedding and scripting, fast startup, good performance for scripting tasks.Performance varies by implementation; some are highly optimized, but generally slower than statically compiled languages.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem, fewer libraries, but includes batteries for scripting and embedding.Larger ecosystem, especially for academic and educational use, but fewer modern libraries compared to mainstream languages.
Community and supportSmall but active and growing community, mostly focused on scripting and embedding.Long-established, larger community, strong academic presence, more resources and documentation.
Learning curveGentler for those familiar with modern scripting languages, less parentheses-heavy syntax.Steeper due to heavy use of parentheses and minimal syntax, but simple core concepts.
