This free online converter lets you convert code from Zig to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Zig | Carbon |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like syntax with modern improvements, minimalistic and explicit. | C++-inspired syntax, designed to be familiar to C++ developers but with modern enhancements. |
Paradigm | Procedural and systems programming, with some support for generic programming. | Multi-paradigm, primarily procedural and object-oriented, with strong support for generic programming. |
Typing | Statically typed, no nulls, no hidden control flow, strong type safety. | Statically typed, aims for type safety and interoperability with C++ types. |
Performance | High performance, close to C/C++, manual memory management, no hidden allocations. | Aims for performance comparable to C++, with focus on low-level systems programming. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard library, growing ecosystem, can use C libraries directly. | Very early stage, minimal libraries, designed for interoperability with C++ libraries. |
Community and support | Active and growing open-source community, increasing adoption, good documentation. | Very early development, small community, mostly experimental and led by Google. |
Learning curve | Moderate; simpler than C/C++ but requires understanding of low-level concepts. | Intended to be easy for C++ developers, but currently steep due to lack of resources and tooling. |
