This free online converter lets you convert code from Janet to Scheme in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Janet | Scheme |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clojure-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. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming with macros. | Primarily functional, supports imperative and metaprogramming with macros. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | Designed 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 frameworks | Smaller 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 support | Small but active and growing community, mostly focused on scripting and embedding. | Long-established, larger community, strong academic presence, more resources and documentation. |
| Learning curve | Gentler 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. |
