This free online converter lets you convert code from Kotlin to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Kotlin | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Concise, expressive, and similar to Java with modern enhancements; designed for readability and reduced boilerplate. | C-like syntax with modern features; aims for familiarity for C++ developers while improving clarity and safety. |
Paradigm | Supports object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Primarily object-oriented and procedural, with some support for generic and functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference and null safety. | Statically typed with strong type safety and modern type system improvements over C++. |
Performance | Comparable to Java on the JVM; native compilation (Kotlin/Native) can be less performant than C++. | Designed for high performance, aiming to match or exceed C++ performance for systems programming. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for JVM and Android development; supports Java libraries and has multiplatform capabilities. | Limited libraries and frameworks as it is in early development; aims for interoperability with C++ libraries. |
Community and support | Large, active community with strong support from JetBrains and Google; extensive documentation and resources. | Small and emerging community; primarily driven by Google with limited resources and support currently. |
Learning curve | Relatively easy for Java developers; modern features may require some adjustment for beginners. | Steep learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with C++-like languages; still evolving, so resources are limited. |
