Key differences between Java and Racket

CharacteristicJavaRacket
SyntaxJava has a C-like syntax with curly braces and semicolons.Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation.
ParadigmJava supports both object-oriented programming and imperative programming paradigms.Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, imperative programming, and metaprogramming.
TypingJava is statically typed, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time.Racket is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceJava is known for its performance and is often used for building high-performance applications.Racket is an interpreted language and may have lower performance compared to compiled languages like Java.
Libraries and frameworksJava has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it suitable for various application domains.Racket has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Java.
Community and supportJava has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources.Racket has a smaller community compared to Java, but still provides good documentation and support.
Learning curveJava has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners with no prior programming experience.Racket has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts.
