Key differences between Racket and Carbon

CharacteristicRacketCarbon
SyntaxLisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent.C++-like, uses braces and semicolons, familiar to C-family language users, more conventional.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: functional, procedural, object-oriented, and logic programming.Multi-paradigm: primarily procedural and object-oriented, designed as a successor to C++.
TypingDynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket.Statically typed, with modern type system improvements over C++.
PerformanceInterpreted or compiled to bytecode, generally slower than low-level languages.Designed for high performance, aims to match or exceed C++ performance.
Libraries and frameworksRich set of built-in libraries, strong support for language-oriented programming, but less for mainstream application domains.Limited libraries as it is still experimental, but aims for C++ interoperability and ecosystem integration.
Community and supportEstablished academic and educational community, good documentation, active but smaller than mainstream languages.Very new, small and experimental community, limited support and resources.
Learning curveSteep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax, but good educational resources available.Easier for C++/C-family programmers, but still evolving and lacks mature learning materials.
