Key differences between Perl and Grain
| Characteristic | Perl | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible, often considered complex or 'write-only'; uses sigils and many special variables. | Clean, modern, and inspired by functional languages; designed for clarity and WebAssembly compatibility. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, and some functional features. | Functional-first, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted; good for scripting but generally slower than compiled languages. | Compiled to WebAssembly; optimized for fast execution in web environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive CPAN repository with thousands of modules. | Limited ecosystem; fewer libraries due to its youth and niche focus. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and established community with decades of resources. | Small, emerging community; support mainly through official channels and GitHub. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to flexible and sometimes cryptic syntax. | Moderate, especially for those familiar with functional programming concepts. |
