This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Janet in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Matlab | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a proprietary, matrix-oriented language with syntax similar to traditional mathematical notation. | Uses a lightweight, Lisp-like syntax with s-expressions and minimal punctuation. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural and imperative, with support for object-oriented and some functional programming. | Multi-paradigm, with strong support for functional, imperative, and metaprogramming styles. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with most variables being arrays or matrices by default. | Dynamically typed, with flexible data structures and runtime type checking. |
| Performance | Optimized for numerical and matrix computations; often faster for large-scale mathematical operations due to built-in libraries. | Lightweight and fast for scripting and embedding, but not specifically optimized for heavy numerical computations. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive proprietary libraries for mathematics, engineering, signal processing, and more. | Smaller ecosystem with community-contributed libraries, focused on general-purpose scripting and embedding. |
| Community and support | Large, active user base with official support, documentation, and forums. | Smaller, niche community with open-source support and active development on GitHub. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; designed for engineers and scientists, with extensive documentation and educational resources. | Steeper for those unfamiliar with Lisp-like languages; minimalistic core but requires learning s-expression syntax. |
