Key differences between Scheme and JavaScript

CharacteristicSchemeJavaScript
SyntaxScheme has a simple and minimalist syntax with a prefix notation.JavaScript has a C-like syntax with a combination of prefix and infix notations.
ParadigmScheme is a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms.JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports both functional and object-oriented programming paradigms.
TypingScheme is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.JavaScript is also dynamically typed.
PerformanceScheme is generally considered to have good performance due to its simplicity and efficient implementation.JavaScript performance can vary depending on the implementation and the specific use case.
Libraries and frameworksScheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript.JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easier to find existing solutions for various tasks.
Community and supportScheme has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but it still has active users and support.JavaScript has a large and active community with extensive support and resources available.
Learning curveScheme has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those familiar with C-like languages.
