Key differences between Lua and Wren
| Characteristic | Lua | Wren |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, lightweight, and minimalistic syntax inspired by Pascal; uses 'end' to close blocks. | C-style syntax with braces for blocks; more modern and familiar to users of JavaScript or C-like languages. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural with support for functional and basic object-oriented programming via metatables. | Primarily object-oriented with classes and single inheritance; supports some functional features. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed; all variables are typeless and types are checked at runtime. | Dynamically typed; variables can hold any type, but the language enforces class-based object orientation. |
| Performance | Very fast and lightweight, designed for embedding; often used in performance-critical applications. | Fast and lightweight, but generally not as optimized as Lua; still suitable for embedding. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for game development (e.g., Love2D, Corona SDK); many third-party libraries. | Smaller ecosystem with fewer libraries and frameworks; still growing and less mature. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with extensive documentation and support resources. | Smaller, niche community; documentation is good but fewer resources and less community support. |
| Learning curve | Very easy to learn due to simple syntax and minimal core concepts. | Easy to learn for those familiar with C-style syntax and object-oriented programming, but slightly steeper than Lua. |
