Key differences between Lisp and Carbon

CharacteristicLispCarbon
SyntaxUses fully parenthesized prefix notation; minimal and uniform syntax.C++-like syntax; designed to be familiar to C++ developers with modern enhancements.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm; primarily functional with strong support for symbolic computation and macros.Multi-paradigm; supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming.
TypingDynamically typed (with some statically typed dialects).Statically typed.
PerformancePerformance varies by implementation; can be efficient but often not as fast as low-level languages.Designed for high performance, aiming to match or exceed C++ performance.
Libraries and frameworksHas a range of libraries, but fewer modern frameworks compared to mainstream languages.Currently limited as it is experimental; aims for interoperability with C++ libraries.
Community and supportMature but niche community; extensive historical resources but less mainstream support.Very new and experimental; small and growing community with limited support.
Learning curveSteep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts.Moderate for C++ developers; easier for those familiar with C-like languages.
