This free online converter lets you convert code from R to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | R | Grain |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R uses a unique syntax tailored for statistical analysis and data manipulation, with many functions and operators specific to statistics. | Grain uses a functional programming syntax inspired by OCaml and ReasonML, with a focus on type safety and functional constructs. |
Paradigm | Primarily functional and vectorized, with some object-oriented features (S3, S4, R6). | Purely functional, emphasizing immutability and strong type safety. |
Typing | Dynamically typed, with types determined at runtime. | Statically typed, with type checking at compile time. |
Performance | Generally slower due to interpreted nature, but optimized for statistical operations; can be extended with C/C++ for speed. | Compiles to WebAssembly, offering high performance for web applications and computational tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem for statistics, data analysis, and visualization (CRAN, Bioconductor). | Smaller ecosystem, with growing libraries focused on WebAssembly and functional programming. |
Community and support | Large, mature community with strong academic and industry support, extensive documentation and forums. | Small but active and growing community, with limited resources and documentation. |
Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those with a statistics background; unique syntax can be challenging for general programmers. | Steep, especially for those new to functional programming and static typing. |
