Key differences between VBA and Grain
| Characteristic | VBA | Grain |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | English-like, verbose, similar to classic BASIC, designed for readability and ease of use within Microsoft Office. | Functional, concise, inspired by OCaml/Elm, uses pattern matching and immutable data structures. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and event-driven, with some support for object-oriented programming. | Purely functional, emphasizing immutability and stateless programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing using 'Dim' and type declarations. | Statically and strongly typed, with type inference and enforced type safety. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally slower, suitable for automating Office tasks but not for high-performance applications. | Compiled to WebAssembly, offering high performance suitable for web and systems programming. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich set of libraries for Office automation, limited external libraries, tightly integrated with Microsoft products. | Growing ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly, fewer libraries compared to mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Large, mature community with extensive documentation and support, especially for Office automation. | Small but active community, less documentation and support due to its relative newness. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, accessible to beginners, especially those familiar with Office applications. | Steeper learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming concepts. |
