| Characteristic | Janet | TypeScript |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions and parentheses, minimalistic and homoiconic. | C-style, similar to JavaScript with added type annotations, more familiar to mainstream developers. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming (macros). | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, and imperative, built on top of JavaScript. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed (with optional type annotations), supports gradual typing. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally fast for a scripting language, suitable for scripting and embedding. | Transpiles to JavaScript, performance depends on the JavaScript engine; typically used in web environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks, but can use C libraries via FFI. | Extensive ecosystem, can use all JavaScript libraries and frameworks, strong support for modern web development. |
| Community and support | Small, niche community, less mainstream support. | Large, active community, strong support from Microsoft and the broader JavaScript ecosystem. |
| Learning curve | Steep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax and concepts. | Gentle for those with JavaScript experience; additional learning for type system. |
