This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Raku in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Clojure | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent. | Perl-inspired, rich and flexible, supports multiple paradigms, more verbose and expressive. |
| Paradigm | Functional-first, supports immutable data structures, also supports concurrency and some OOP. | Multi-paradigm: functional, object-oriented, procedural, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional type hints and gradual typing via core.typed. | Gradually typed, supports both dynamic and static typing, type constraints are first-class. |
| Performance | Runs on the JVM, generally fast, benefits from JVM optimizations, good concurrency support. | Slower than many mainstream languages, performance is improving but not as fast as JVM-based languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Access to Java ecosystem, many libraries for web, data, and concurrency, mature ecosystem. | Smaller ecosystem, growing set of modules (zef), fewer libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure. |
| Community and support | Active and mature community, good documentation, commercial support available. | Smaller but passionate community, improving documentation, less commercial support. |
| Learning curve | Steep for those new to Lisp syntax and functional programming, but consistent once learned. | Steep due to rich and flexible syntax, many features, and multiple paradigms. |
