Key differences between Clojure and Raku

CharacteristicClojureRaku
SyntaxLisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and consistent.Perl-inspired, rich and flexible, supports multiple paradigms, more verbose and expressive.
ParadigmFunctional-first, supports immutable data structures, also supports concurrency and some OOP.Multi-paradigm: functional, object-oriented, procedural, concurrent, and more.
TypingDynamically typed, with optional type hints and gradual typing via core.typed.Gradually typed, supports both dynamic and static typing, type constraints are first-class.
PerformanceRuns 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 frameworksAccess 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 supportActive and mature community, good documentation, commercial support available.Smaller but passionate community, improving documentation, less commercial support.
Learning curveSteep 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.
