This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Raku in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Haskell | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Purely functional, uses significant whitespace, concise and mathematical, relies heavily on pattern matching and type inference. | Multi-paradigm, Perl-inspired, uses sigils, braces, and flexible syntax, supports grammars and custom operators. |
| Paradigm | Pure functional programming with strong emphasis on immutability and higher-order functions. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types; uses Hindley-Milner type system. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and optional type annotations. |
| Performance | Generally fast for functional workloads, but can be slower than low-level languages; performance depends on lazy evaluation and optimization. | Slower than many mainstream languages due to its flexibility and dynamic features; performance is improving but still lags behind Haskell. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for functional programming, web development, and concurrency; package management via Hackage and Stack. | Growing but smaller ecosystem; modules available via the Raku ecosystem (zef); fewer mature frameworks. |
| Community and support | Active academic and open-source community, good documentation, strong presence in research and some industry sectors. | Smaller but passionate community, strong ties to Perl community, less industry adoption, documentation is improving. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to pure functional paradigm, advanced type system, and abstract concepts. | Moderate learning curve; flexible syntax can be both a help and a hindrance, easier for those with Perl background. |
