| Characteristic | Gleam | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clean, concise, and influenced by ML-family languages; statically structured and easy to read. | Flexible, expressive, and Perl-inspired; allows multiple ways to express the same logic. |
| Paradigm | Functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. | Multi-paradigm: supports functional, object-oriented, concurrent, and procedural programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing with optional type annotations. |
| Performance | High performance due to compilation to Erlang BEAM; suitable for concurrent and fault-tolerant systems. | Moderate performance; slower than many compiled languages due to its dynamic features and flexibility. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via interop, but native Gleam libraries are fewer. | Growing but niche ecosystem; has its own modules and some interoperability with other languages. |
| Community and support | Small but active and friendly community; rapid development but limited resources. | Small, passionate, and long-standing community; good documentation but less mainstream support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming; straightforward syntax aids learning. | Steep due to its flexibility and many features; can be challenging for beginners. |
