Key differences between Elm and Raku
| Characteristic | Elm | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clean, Haskell-inspired, whitespace-insensitive, concise and functional. | Flexible, Perl-inspired, allows multiple styles, supports grammars and custom operators. |
| Paradigm | Purely functional, reactive, focused on front-end web development. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference, no null or undefined. | Dynamically typed by default, supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | Compiles to highly optimized JavaScript, fast for web apps. | Generally slower than mainstream languages, performance improving but not a primary focus. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Focused, curated package ecosystem for web development, limited compared to general-purpose languages. | Growing but smaller ecosystem, general-purpose modules, less focus on web frameworks. |
| Community and support | Small but active and friendly community, good documentation, focused on web. | Niche but passionate community, strong legacy from Perl, diverse interests. |
| Learning curve | Steep for those new to functional programming, but clear error messages and helpful tooling. | Moderate to steep due to language flexibility and breadth, easier for those with Perl background. |
