This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Scheme | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Minimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp-style syntax with simple, uniform rules. | Rust-like, modern syntax with curly braces and type annotations, designed for readability. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, supports imperative and meta-programming via macros. | Functional-first, statically typed, with some imperative features. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional type systems in some implementations. | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
| Performance | Performance varies by implementation; often interpreted but some compilers exist. | Compiles to WebAssembly, aiming for high performance in web and server environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard library; ecosystem varies by implementation, fewer modern libraries. | Growing but small ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly, fewer libraries than mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Long-standing academic and hobbyist community, good documentation, but not mainstream. | Newer, smaller community, active development, limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to Lisp syntax and functional concepts. | Moderate, especially for those familiar with Rust or functional languages; modern syntax eases entry. |
