This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Racket | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-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. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional but supports imperative and object-oriented styles. | Functional-first, strongly encourages functional programming, but allows some imperative constructs. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket. | Statically typed with type inference, strong type system inspired by ML languages. |
| Performance | Runs 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 frameworks | Rich ecosystem, extensive standard library, many educational and research-focused libraries. | Smaller ecosystem, limited libraries, but growing support for WebAssembly-related development. |
| Community and support | Large, active community, strong academic and educational support, extensive documentation. | Smaller, newer community, active development, less documentation and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Gentle 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. |
