Key differences between C++ and Raku
| Characteristic | C++ | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, uses braces and semicolons, relatively strict and verbose. | Flexible, Perl-inspired, allows multiple ways to express code, more concise and expressive. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, generic, and some functional features. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, procedural, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Statically typed, with optional type inference (since C++11). | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and optional static typing. |
| Performance | Very high performance, close to hardware, suitable for system-level programming. | Generally slower than C++ due to being interpreted/VM-based, not intended for low-level optimization. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive standard library and many third-party libraries for various domains. | Growing ecosystem, but fewer libraries and frameworks compared to C++. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and active community with extensive resources and support. | Smaller, but passionate and helpful community; less mainstream support. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to complex syntax, manual memory management, and advanced features. | Moderate, more beginner-friendly syntax, but some concepts can be complex due to flexibility. |
