This free online converter lets you convert code from Julia to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Julia | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Mathematical, similar to MATLAB and Python, concise and readable. | Functional, inspired by OCaml, uses pattern matching and type inference. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm (procedural, functional, object-oriented, metaprogramming). | Functional-first, strongly emphasizes immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional type annotations (dynamic and gradual typing). | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C/Fortran for numerical computing. | Good performance for a functional language, compiles to WebAssembly, but not as fast as Julia for numerics. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for scientific computing, data science, and machine learning. | Limited libraries, mostly focused on core language and WebAssembly support. |
| Community and support | Large and active community, strong academic and industry backing. | Small but growing community, mostly enthusiasts and early adopters. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for users familiar with MATLAB or Python; more complex features can be advanced. | Steeper due to functional paradigm and OCaml-like syntax, but designed to be beginner-friendly. |
