Key differences between Pascal and Carbon

CharacteristicPascalCarbon
SyntaxPascal 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.
ParadigmPrimarily 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++.
TypingStatically typed with strong type checking.Statically typed with strong type safety, aiming for safer and more expressive type systems than C++.
PerformanceEfficient 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 frameworksLimited 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 supportSmall, mostly academic or legacy community; limited active development and support.Growing interest, especially among C++ developers; active development but still early-stage community.
Learning curveGentle learning curve, designed for teaching programming fundamentals.Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with C++ concepts; easier for C++ developers to adopt.
