Key differences between Scala and Janet
| Characteristic | Scala | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a concise, expressive, and statically-typed syntax influenced by Java and functional languages. | Has a Lisp-like, homoiconic syntax with s-expressions, emphasizing minimalism and flexibility. |
| Paradigm | Supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Primarily functional and imperative, with metaprogramming capabilities. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference. | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | Runs on the JVM, offering high performance comparable to Java. | Interpreted or compiled to bytecode for a custom VM, generally lightweight and fast for scripting, but not as performant as JVM languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem with extensive libraries and frameworks, especially for web, data, and concurrency. | Smaller standard library and fewer third-party libraries, focused on scripting and embedding. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong industry adoption and support. | Small, niche community with limited support and resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to advanced features and complex syntax. | Gentle learning curve for those familiar with Lisp, but may be unfamiliar to others due to s-expression syntax. |
