Key differences between Java and Raku
| Characteristic | Java | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-style, verbose, strict syntax rules, uses braces and semicolons. | Flexible, expressive, Perl-inspired, allows multiple ways to write code, less strict. |
| Paradigm | Primarily object-oriented, supports imperative and limited functional programming. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, procedural, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong type checking at compile time. | Gradually typed, supports both static and dynamic typing. |
| Performance | High performance due to JVM optimizations and JIT compilation. | Generally slower than Java, performance is improving but not as optimized. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive standard library, vast ecosystem of mature frameworks and tools. | Smaller ecosystem, growing set of modules, fewer mature frameworks. |
| Community and support | Large, active global community, strong corporate and open-source support. | Smaller, passionate community, less corporate backing, active open-source contributors. |
| Learning curve | Moderate, well-documented, many learning resources, predictable structure. | Steeper, due to flexible syntax and many features, fewer learning resources. |
