Key differences between C and Scheme
Characteristic | C | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C uses a procedural syntax with curly braces and semicolons to denote blocks and statements. | Scheme uses a minimalist syntax with parentheses to denote expressions and function calls. |
Paradigm | C is primarily an imperative and procedural language. | Scheme is a functional programming language with support for imperative and procedural programming. |
Typing | C is a statically typed language with weak typing. | Scheme is a dynamically typed language with strong typing. |
Performance | C is known for its high performance and efficiency. | Scheme is generally slower than C due to its dynamic nature and garbage collection. |
Libraries and frameworks | C has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to C. |
Community and support | C has a large and active community with extensive support and resources. | Scheme has a smaller community compared to C, but still has dedicated users and resources. |
Learning curve | C has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners. | Scheme has a steep learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming. |
