This free online converter lets you convert code from Rust to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Rust | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-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. |
Paradigm | Multi-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++. |
Typing | Static, strong, and inferred typing with strict compile-time checks. | Static and strong typing, similar to C++, with modern enhancements. |
Performance | High 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 frameworks | Rich 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 support | Large, active, and supportive community with extensive documentation and resources. | Small and nascent community; limited support as the language is in early stages. |
Learning curve | Steep 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. |
