Key differences between Haxe and Raku
| Characteristic | Haxe | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, similar to Java, JavaScript, and ActionScript; concise and familiar to users of mainstream languages. | Perl-inspired, highly flexible and expressive; allows multiple ways to accomplish tasks, which can be both powerful and complex. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented, functional, and generic programming. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference; strong type system. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | High performance due to compilation to native code or efficient target languages (e.g., C++, JavaScript). | Generally slower than many mainstream languages due to its dynamic features and relatively young runtime. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Good selection, especially for cross-platform development (e.g., OpenFL, Kha); can use libraries from target languages. | Growing but smaller ecosystem; has modules available via the Raku ecosystem but fewer mature frameworks. |
| Community and support | Moderate-sized, active community; good documentation and support, especially for game and cross-platform development. | Smaller, passionate community; active development but less mainstream adoption and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; familiar syntax for those with experience in C-like languages, but cross-compilation concepts may add complexity. | Steep; flexible syntax and many features can be overwhelming for beginners, especially those new to Perl-like languages. |
