Key differences between Lua and Grain
| Characteristic | Lua | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, lightweight, and easy-to-read syntax inspired by Pascal and Ada. | Modern, functional syntax inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, with pattern matching and type inference. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and procedural, with some support for object-oriented and functional programming. | Functional-first, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Very fast and lightweight, suitable for embedded systems and scripting. | Runs on WebAssembly, offering good performance for web applications, but generally slower than native code. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for game development (e.g., Love2D, Corona SDK) and scripting, but fewer general-purpose libraries. | Smaller ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly and functional programming, with limited libraries compared to mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Large, mature community with extensive documentation and support. | Small and emerging community, with growing but limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, easy for beginners. | Moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming. |
