This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Matlab | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a matrix-based, imperative syntax similar to traditional programming languages; designed for mathematical and engineering computations. | Has a functional, ML-inspired syntax; emphasizes immutability and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural and imperative, with some support for object-oriented programming. | Purely functional programming paradigm. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed; types are determined at runtime. | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
| Performance | Optimized for numerical and matrix operations; generally fast for scientific computing tasks. | Runs on the WebAssembly platform; performance depends on the WebAssembly runtime and is generally good for web-based applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive built-in libraries for mathematics, engineering, signal processing, and more; many toolboxes available. | Limited libraries; ecosystem is still growing and focused on WebAssembly and functional programming. |
| Community and support | Large, established community with extensive documentation, forums, and commercial support. | Small, emerging community; support mainly through open-source channels and community forums. |
| Learning curve | Relatively easy for beginners, especially those in engineering and science; user-friendly environment. | Steeper learning curve due to functional paradigm and newer ecosystem. |
