This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Scheme | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Minimalist, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, simple and uniform. | C++-like, modern, more explicit syntax, designed for readability and familiarity for C++ developers. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, supports procedural and meta-programming. | Multi-paradigm, supports object-oriented, generic, and functional programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, some implementations offer optional static typing. | Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern type system. |
| Performance | Generally slower, interpreted or compiled with less focus on low-level optimization. | Designed for high performance, aims to match or exceed C++ performance. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard libraries, fewer third-party libraries, less focus on application frameworks. | Ecosystem still developing, aims for compatibility with C++ libraries and tooling. |
| Community and support | Small but established academic and enthusiast community, mature resources. | Very new, small and growing community, limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to Lisp syntax and functional paradigm. | Moderate for those familiar with C++, easier transition for C++ developers. |
