Key differences between Erlang and Raku
| Characteristic | Erlang | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Has a simple, functional, and somewhat unconventional syntax with significant use of pattern matching and recursion; influenced by Prolog. | Has a rich, expressive, and flexible syntax designed for readability and expressiveness; supports multiple programming styles. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional and concurrent, with strong emphasis on message-passing and immutability. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional static analysis via Dialyzer. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | Optimized for massive concurrency and fault-tolerance, but not for raw computational speed. | Generally slower than many mainstream languages due to its flexibility and rich feature set. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Strong ecosystem for distributed, concurrent, and fault-tolerant systems (e.g., OTP framework). | Growing but smaller ecosystem; has modules for various tasks but less mature than Erlang's for concurrency. |
| Community and support | Established, especially in telecom and distributed systems; good documentation and active community. | Smaller but passionate community; active development and improving documentation. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to unique syntax and concurrency model. | Moderate to steep, due to rich feature set and flexible syntax. |
