Key differences between Racket and Grain

CharacteristicRacketGrain
SyntaxLisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and uniform.ML-inspired, similar to OCaml/ReasonML, uses infix notation, more familiar to those with C-like or functional language backgrounds.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily functional but supports imperative and object-oriented styles.Functional-first, strongly encourages functional programming, but allows some imperative constructs.
TypingDynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket.Statically typed with type inference, strong type system inspired by ML languages.
PerformanceRuns on its own VM, generally slower than low-level languages, suitable for scripting and education.Compiles to WebAssembly, optimized for fast execution in web environments.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem, extensive standard library, many educational and research-focused libraries.Smaller ecosystem, limited libraries, but growing support for WebAssembly-related development.
Community and supportLarge, active community, strong academic and educational support, extensive documentation.Smaller, newer community, active development, less documentation and fewer resources.
Learning curveGentle for beginners, especially in educational settings, but Lisp syntax can be unfamiliar.Moderate, easier for those with ML or functional programming experience, but less beginner-oriented resources.
