Key differences between Elixir and Raku
| Characteristic | Elixir | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Ruby-like, clean and expressive, uses significant whitespace and do/end blocks. | Perl-inspired, highly flexible and expressive, supports multiple syntactic forms. |
| Paradigm | Functional, concurrent, process-oriented (actor model). | Multi-paradigm: functional, object-oriented, procedural, concurrent. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Gradually typed (supports both dynamic and static typing). |
| Performance | High concurrency and fault-tolerance, good for distributed systems, runs on BEAM VM. | Generally slower than Elixir, performance improving but not as optimized for concurrency. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for web (Phoenix), real-time, and distributed applications. | Smaller ecosystem, growing set of modules, less mature frameworks. |
| Community and support | Active, growing community, strong support especially in web and telecom domains. | Smaller, passionate community, less mainstream support. |
| Learning curve | Moderate, easier for those familiar with Ruby or functional programming. | Steep, due to flexible syntax and many features. |
