This free online converter lets you convert code from PowerShell to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | PowerShell | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Command-line scripting language with cmdlet-based, object-oriented syntax; uses verb-noun pairs (e.g., Get-Process). | Not a standalone language; Carbon is a PowerShell module, so it uses standard PowerShell syntax. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented, imperative, and functional scripting language designed for automation and configuration. | Follows PowerShell's paradigms; provides imperative functions for system administration tasks. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional static typing for variables and parameters. | Inherits PowerShell's dynamic typing; no additional typing system. |
| Performance | Performance depends on the script and cmdlets used; generally suitable for automation but not as fast as compiled languages. | Performance is similar to PowerShell scripts; adds convenience functions but does not significantly change execution speed. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem of modules and cmdlets; integrates with .NET libraries. | A specific PowerShell module that adds functions for Windows administration, such as file system, registry, and security management. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong Microsoft support and extensive documentation. | Smaller community focused on Windows administrators; open-source with GitHub support but less widespread than PowerShell itself. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those familiar with command-line interfaces and scripting. | Low for PowerShell users; requires understanding of PowerShell basics before using Carbon's additional functions. |
