Key differences between Janet and VB6
| Characteristic | Janet | VB6 |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions and parentheses, minimalistic and concise. | BASIC-like, uses English-like keywords and structured blocks, more verbose. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, imperative, and metaprogramming (macros). | Primarily imperative and event-driven, with limited object-oriented features. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing (using 'Option Explicit'). |
| Performance | High performance for a scripting language, suitable for embedding. | Moderate performance, compiled to native code but limited by legacy runtime. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller standard library, growing ecosystem, supports C interop. | Rich set of built-in libraries for Windows GUI and COM, but outdated and limited for modern development. |
| Community and support | Small but active and modern open-source community. | Large legacy user base, but official support ended and community is shrinking. |
| Learning curve | Steeper for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax; easier for those with functional programming experience. | Gentle for beginners due to English-like syntax and visual tools. |
