SyntaxC-like, minimalistic, explicit, focuses on clarity and simplicity.Concise, expressive, modern, influenced by Java but with many improvements.
ParadigmProcedural, supports manual memory management, low-level programming.Object-oriented and functional, supports higher-order functions and lambdas.
TypingStatically typed, no nulls by default, strong type safety.Statically typed, null safety built-in, type inference available.
PerformanceVery high, close to C/C++, suitable for systems programming.High, but generally slower than Zig due to JVM or other runtimes.
Libraries and frameworksLimited, still growing, mostly focused on systems-level tasks.Extensive, can use all Java libraries, strong ecosystem for Android and backend.
Community and supportSmall but active, rapidly growing, less mature than mainstream languages.Large, well-established, strong support from JetBrains and Google.
Learning curveSteep for beginners, especially due to manual memory management.Gentle, especially for those familiar with Java or modern programming languages.
