This free online converter lets you convert code from VBA to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | VBA | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Similar to classic BASIC, verbose, English-like, designed for ease of use in Office macros. | C-based syntax, similar to C++ but with modern enhancements and simplifications. |
Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with limited support for object-oriented programming. | Multi-paradigm, supporting procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. |
Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional static typing using 'Dim' and type declarations. | Statically typed, with strong type safety and modern type inference. |
Performance | Interpreted, slower execution, suitable for automating Office tasks but not for high-performance applications. | Compiled, designed for high performance, aiming to match or exceed C++ speeds. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich integration with Microsoft Office libraries, limited external libraries. | Intended to leverage C++ libraries and ecosystem, but native libraries are still in development. |
Community and support | Large, mature community with extensive documentation and support, especially for Office automation. | Emerging community, limited support as the language is still experimental and under active development. |
Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, accessible to beginners, especially those familiar with Office. | Steeper learning curve, especially for those new to C++-like languages or modern programming concepts. |
