Key differences between Zig and Janet
| Characteristic | Zig | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, statically structured, explicit and low-level syntax. | Lisp-like, homoiconic, uses s-expressions and minimal punctuation. |
| Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming. | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional and imperative, with metaprogramming support. |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong type system with compile-time checks. | Dynamically typed, types are checked at runtime. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C/C++, suitable for systems programming. | Good performance for a scripting language, but generally slower than Zig. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing ecosystem, can use C libraries directly. | Smaller ecosystem, focused on scripting and embedding, with some core libraries. |
| Community and support | Active and growing community, good documentation, increasing adoption. | Smaller community, niche user base, limited resources and support. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for those unfamiliar with low-level programming. | Gentle for those familiar with Lisp, but s-expression syntax may be unfamiliar to others. |
