Key differences between Scheme and Janet

CharacteristicSchemeJanet
SyntaxMinimalist, 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.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily functional with support for imperative and procedural styles.Multi-paradigm, functional and imperative, designed for scripting and embedding.
TypingDynamically typed.Dynamically typed.
PerformanceGenerally 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 frameworksLimited 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 supportLong-standing, academic and hobbyist community; more resources, books, and forums.Smaller, newer community; active development but fewer resources and less widespread support.
Learning curveSteep 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.
