This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Racket | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Lisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent. | C++-like, uses braces and semicolons, familiar to C-family language users, more conventional. |
Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: functional, procedural, object-oriented, and logic programming. | Multi-paradigm: primarily procedural and object-oriented, designed as a successor to C++. |
Typing | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket. | Statically typed, with modern type system improvements over C++. |
Performance | Interpreted or compiled to bytecode, generally slower than low-level languages. | Designed for high performance, aims to match or exceed C++ performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich 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 support | Established academic and educational community, good documentation, active but smaller than mainstream languages. | Very new, small and experimental community, limited support and resources. |
Learning curve | Steep 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. |
