Key differences between Scheme and Grain

CharacteristicSchemeGrain
SyntaxMinimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp-style syntax with simple, uniform rules.Rust-like, modern syntax with curly braces and type annotations, designed for readability.
ParadigmPrimarily functional, supports imperative and meta-programming via macros.Functional-first, statically typed, with some imperative features.
TypingDynamically typed, with optional type systems in some implementations.Statically typed with strong type inference.
PerformancePerformance varies by implementation; often interpreted but some compilers exist.Compiles to WebAssembly, aiming for high performance in web and server environments.
Libraries and frameworksLimited standard library; ecosystem varies by implementation, fewer modern libraries.Growing but small ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly, fewer libraries than mainstream languages.
Community and supportLong-standing academic and hobbyist community, good documentation, but not mainstream.Newer, smaller community, active development, limited resources and support.
Learning curveSteep for beginners due to Lisp syntax and functional concepts.Moderate, especially for those familiar with Rust or functional languages; modern syntax eases entry.
