Key differences between C and Raku
| Characteristic | C | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, minimal, and procedural with a focus on low-level operations; uses braces and semicolons. | Rich, expressive, and flexible; supports multiple syntactic forms and advanced features like grammars. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and structured programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. |
| Typing | Static and weak typing; types are checked at compile time. | Dynamic and strong typing by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | Very high performance; close to hardware and often used for system programming. | Generally slower than C due to dynamic features and higher-level abstractions. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive, mature ecosystem for system-level and embedded development; many third-party libraries. | Smaller ecosystem; growing set of modules and libraries, but less mature than C. |
| Community and support | Large, established, and active community with decades of resources and support. | Smaller, but passionate and active community; less mainstream support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to manual memory management and low-level concepts. | Moderate to steep due to rich feature set and flexible syntax, but high-level abstractions can help. |
