This free online converter lets you convert code from Kotlin to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Kotlin | Grain |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Modern, concise, and expressive syntax similar to Java and influenced by other JVM languages. | Functional, ML-inspired syntax similar to OCaml and ReasonML, with significant whitespace and pattern matching. |
Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented and functional programming. | Purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference. | Statically typed with strong type inference, inspired by ML-family languages. |
Performance | High performance, compiles to JVM bytecode or native binaries; suitable for production applications. | Compiles to WebAssembly; performance is good for web-based applications but not as mature as JVM or native targets. |
Libraries and frameworks | Extensive libraries and frameworks, especially for JVM and Android development. | Limited libraries and frameworks; ecosystem is still growing. |
Community and support | Large, active community with strong support from JetBrains and Google. | Small, emerging community with limited support. |
Learning curve | Easy for Java developers; moderate for others due to familiar syntax and good documentation. | Steeper learning curve, especially for those unfamiliar with functional or ML-style languages. |
