This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Janet in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Scheme | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Minimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp syntax with prefix notation and simple, uniform structure. | Lisp-like, but with more flexible syntax, supports both s-expressions and array-like syntax, less strict than Scheme. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional with support for imperative and procedural styles. | Multi-paradigm, functional and imperative, designed for scripting and embedding. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | Generally fast for an interpreted language, but depends on the implementation (e.g., Racket, Guile, Chicken). | Designed for high performance, often faster than many scripting languages due to its small, efficient VM. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard library, relies on SRFIs and third-party libraries; ecosystem varies by implementation. | Smaller ecosystem, but includes a standard library for common tasks; fewer third-party libraries than Scheme. |
| Community and support | Long-standing, academic and hobbyist community; more resources, books, and forums. | Smaller, newer community; active development but fewer resources and less widespread support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to minimalist syntax and functional concepts, but well-documented. | Moderate; easier for those familiar with scripting languages, but less documentation and resources. |
