Key differences between Rust and Carbon

CharacteristicRustCarbon
SyntaxC-like syntax with unique features such as ownership and borrowing; explicit lifetimes and pattern matching.C++-inspired syntax designed for easy migration from C++; aims for familiarity for C++ developers.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports functional, imperative, and concurrent programming with strong emphasis on safety.Multi-paradigm: primarily imperative and object-oriented, designed to be a successor to C++.
TypingStatic, strong, and inferred typing with strict compile-time checks.Static and strong typing, similar to C++, with modern enhancements.
PerformanceHigh performance, comparable to C and C++, with zero-cost abstractions and no garbage collector.Aims for performance parity with C++, focusing on low-level control and efficiency.
Libraries and frameworksRich and growing ecosystem with Cargo package manager; many libraries for systems, web, and embedded development.Very limited libraries and frameworks as it is still experimental and under development.
Community and supportLarge, active, and supportive community with extensive documentation and resources.Small and nascent community; limited support as the language is in early stages.
Learning curveSteep learning curve due to ownership, lifetimes, and strict compiler; well-documented learning resources.Intended to be easier for C++ developers to learn; overall learning curve unclear due to early development.
