Key differences between Kotlin and C

CharacteristicKotlinC
SyntaxKotlin has a concise and expressive syntax that reduces the amount of boilerplate code required compared to C.C has a more verbose syntax that requires more code to accomplish the same tasks compared to Kotlin.
ParadigmKotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.C is a procedural language that does not support object-oriented or functional programming paradigms.
TypingKotlin is a statically typed language that supports type inference, making it easier to write code without explicitly declaring types.C is a statically typed language that requires explicit declaration of types.
PerformanceKotlin is generally slower than C due to its higher-level abstractions and garbage collection.C is generally faster than Kotlin due to its lower-level abstractions and lack of garbage collection.
Libraries and frameworksKotlin has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Spring and Ktor.C has a limited ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Kotlin.
Community and supportKotlin has a large and active community with good support from JetBrains, the company behind the language.C has a smaller community and less support compared to Kotlin.
Learning curveKotlin has a relatively low learning curve for developers familiar with Java or other object-oriented languages.C has a steeper learning curve compared to Kotlin due to its lower-level abstractions and lack of modern language features.
