| Characteristic | VBA | Wren |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Similar to classic BASIC; verbose, uses 'Sub', 'Function', 'End', and explicit 'Dim' for variables. | C-style syntax; concise, uses braces for blocks, and supports modern scripting conventions. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and event-driven; supports some object-oriented features. | Object-oriented and imperative; designed for scripting with classes and methods. |
| Typing | Statically typed but allows implicit typing with 'Variant'; type declarations are optional. | Dynamically typed; variables do not require explicit type declarations. |
| Performance | Interpreted within Microsoft Office; generally slower and limited by host application. | Interpreted, lightweight, and designed for embedding; typically faster than VBA for general scripting. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich integration with Microsoft Office and Windows APIs; limited third-party libraries. | Minimal standard library; relies on host application for extensions; fewer frameworks available. |
| Community and support | Large, mature community with extensive documentation and support, especially for Office automation. | Small but growing community; limited resources and support compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for beginners, especially those familiar with Office; straightforward for automating tasks. | Easy to learn for those with programming experience; may be less approachable for complete beginners due to smaller ecosystem. |
