This free online converter lets you convert code from Pascal to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Pascal | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Pascal uses verbose, English-like syntax with clear structure (begin/end blocks, semicolons, etc.), designed for readability and teaching. | Carbon uses C++-like syntax with modern enhancements, aiming for familiarity to C++ developers and improved clarity. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some object-oriented extensions in later versions (Object Pascal). | Multi-paradigm, supporting procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming, designed as a successor to C++. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking. | Statically typed with strong type safety, aiming for safer and more expressive type systems than C++. |
| Performance | Efficient for its time, but generally not optimized for modern hardware or high-performance applications. | Designed for high performance, with modern compiler optimizations and low-level control similar to C++. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries; relies on older or niche frameworks, with some support in Delphi and Free Pascal. | Intended to interoperate with C++ libraries and ecosystems, but as a new language, native libraries are still emerging. |
| Community and support | Small, mostly academic or legacy community; limited active development and support. | Growing interest, especially among C++ developers; active development but still early-stage community. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, designed for teaching programming fundamentals. | Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with C++ concepts; easier for C++ developers to adopt. |
