Key differences between Objective_C and Janet
| Characteristic | Objective_C | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-based syntax with Smalltalk-style messaging, uses brackets for method calls, verbose and unique compared to most modern languages. | Lisp-like syntax with s-expressions, minimal and concise, uses parentheses for code structure. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented, supports procedural and some functional programming. | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional and imperative, supports metaprogramming and coroutines. |
| Typing | Statically typed with dynamic runtime features (dynamic message dispatch). | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | Compiled to native code, generally high performance, suitable for system and application development. | Interpreted (with a VM), fast for a scripting language but generally slower than compiled languages like Objective-C. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive libraries, especially for macOS and iOS development (Cocoa, Foundation, UIKit). | Smaller standard library, growing ecosystem, focused on embedding and scripting rather than large-scale application frameworks. |
| Community and support | Large, mature community, strong support from Apple, extensive documentation and resources. | Small but active community, limited resources and documentation compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to unique syntax and concepts, easier for those with C or OOP background. | Moderate, easier for those familiar with Lisp-like languages, but s-expression syntax can be unfamiliar to newcomers. |
