Key differences between Lisp and Grain
| Characteristic | Lisp | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses fully parenthesized prefix notation with minimal syntax; code and data share the same structure (homoiconic). | Has a modern, ML-inspired syntax with significant whitespace and type annotations; less parenthesis-heavy than Lisp. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, but also supports procedural and object-oriented programming. | Strongly functional, with immutability and first-class functions as core concepts. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed (though some dialects like Common Lisp offer optional static typing). | Statically typed with type inference and a strong type system. |
| Performance | Performance varies by implementation; mature compilers can be efficient, but dynamic typing can add overhead. | Designed to compile to efficient WebAssembly, offering good performance for web and server-side applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Has a long history with many libraries, especially in Common Lisp and Clojure, but some may be outdated. | Ecosystem is young and limited, with fewer libraries and frameworks available compared to established languages. |
| Community and support | Has a long-standing, knowledgeable community, but is relatively niche and smaller than mainstream languages. | Very small and emerging community, with limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts like macros; easier for those familiar with functional programming. | Moderate, especially for those with experience in statically typed functional languages; less intimidating syntax than Lisp. |
