This free online converter lets you convert code from Janet to Zig in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Janet | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses s-expressions and parentheses, minimalistic and homoiconic. | C-like, uses braces and semicolons, explicit and straightforward syntax. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional and imperative, supports metaprogramming. | Imperative and systems programming, focuses on manual memory management and low-level control. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally slower than compiled languages, suitable for scripting and embedding. | Compiled, high performance, comparable to C/C++. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, fewer libraries, but easy to extend with C. | Growing ecosystem, can use C libraries directly, but fewer native Zig libraries. |
| Community and support | Small but active community, limited resources and support. | Rapidly growing community, increasing resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax, but simple core concepts. | Moderate, especially for those with C experience; explicitness can be challenging for beginners. |
