Key differences between Haskell and Racket

CharacteristicHaskellRacket
SyntaxHaskell has a unique syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is known for its strong type inference.Racket has a Lisp-like syntax that is simple and expressive, allowing for easy manipulation of code.
ParadigmHaskell is a purely functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and referential transparency.Racket is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
TypingHaskell has a strong static type system that ensures type safety and prevents runtime errors.Racket has a dynamic type system that allows for flexible and dynamic programming.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and efficient runtime system.Racket is not optimized for performance and is generally slower compared to languages like C or Java.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more popular languages.Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks that are specifically designed for the language.
Community and supportHaskell has a dedicated and active community with strong support from the Haskell community and various online resources.Racket has a smaller but passionate community with good support from the Racket community and official documentation.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and strong type system, but it rewards the effort with powerful abstractions.Racket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its simple syntax and extensive documentation.
