Key differences between Wren and Lua
| Characteristic | Wren | Lua |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, modern, uses braces and semicolons, more familiar to users of JavaScript or C-family languages. | Minimalist, uses 'end' for block closures, simple and lightweight, unique compared to most mainstream languages. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented, class-based, supports single inheritance and some functional features. | Multi-paradigm, primarily procedural with support for functional and prototype-based object-oriented programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, no static type checking. | Dynamically typed, no static type checking. |
| Performance | Generally fast for a scripting language, but less mature and optimized than Lua; smaller runtime. | Highly optimized, very fast for an interpreted language, widely used in performance-sensitive embedded contexts. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, few libraries and frameworks available due to its relative newness. | Rich ecosystem, many libraries (especially for game development and embedded use), and frameworks like LÖVE. |
| Community and support | Small but growing community, limited resources and support. | Large, active community, extensive documentation, and widespread industry use. |
| Learning curve | Easy to learn for those familiar with C-like syntax; limited resources may make advanced topics harder. | Very easy to learn, simple syntax, lots of tutorials and resources available. |
