Grain is a strongly-typed functional programming language that compiles to WebAssembly, together with its compiler toolchain and CLI. It aims to make academic functional language features accessible for web and general-purpose development.
Use cases
- compile a functional language to webassembly
- write type-safe web code without runtime type errors
- learn a modern functional programming language
- build browser apps that run on wasm
- run the same language in browser, terminal, and server
When to choose
- you want a strongly-typed functional language targeting WebAssembly
- you want to experiment with a new language and help shape its ecosystem
- you want type inference without annotations and no runtime type errors
When to avoid
- you need a mature language with a large ecosystem and long-term stability
- you need non-WebAssembly compilation targets or deep native interop
- you dislike rapidly changing language features
