Key differences between Ada and Raku
| Characteristic | Ada | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Strongly structured, verbose, Pascal-like, emphasizes readability and explicitness. | Flexible, expressive, Perl-inspired, allows multiple ways to express the same logic. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and object-oriented, with support for concurrent and real-time programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong type checking at compile time. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and optional static typing. |
| Performance | High performance, suitable for systems and embedded programming, often compiled to native code. | Generally slower than Ada, interpreted or JIT-compiled, performance improving but not a primary focus. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, focused on safety-critical and embedded domains, fewer general-purpose libraries. | Growing ecosystem, CPAN6 for modules, more general-purpose libraries but smaller than mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Small, specialized community, strong in aerospace, defense, and safety-critical industries. | Small but active and welcoming community, broader focus, strong online presence. |
| Learning curve | Steep, especially for beginners, due to strictness and verbosity. | Moderate to steep, flexible syntax can be confusing, but expressive features can aid learning. |
