Key differences between OCaml and Carbon

CharacteristicOCamlCarbon
SyntaxFunctional, ML-family syntax with pattern matching, type inference, and concise expressions.C++-inspired syntax designed for familiarity to C++ developers, with modern enhancements.
ParadigmPrimarily functional, with strong support for imperative and object-oriented programming.Multi-paradigm, focusing on procedural and object-oriented programming, with some functional features.
TypingStatically typed with strong type inference and type safety.Statically typed, aiming for safety and expressiveness, with explicit type annotations.
PerformanceHigh performance for functional workloads, with efficient native code compilation.Designed for performance comparable to or better than C++, targeting systems programming.
Libraries and frameworksMature but smaller ecosystem, with libraries for functional programming, web, and systems.Very limited libraries and frameworks as it is still experimental and under development.
Community and supportEstablished academic and industrial community, with good documentation and support.Emerging community, mostly experimental, with limited support and resources.
Learning curveModerate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming.Intended to be easy for C++ developers, but currently steep due to lack of resources and maturity.
