Key differences between Julia and Raku
| Characteristic | Julia | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Mathematical, similar to MATLAB and Python, concise and readable for scientific computing. | Flexible, expressive, Perl-inspired with many ways to accomplish tasks, supports multiple syntactic forms. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: primarily imperative, functional, and object-oriented (via multiple dispatch). | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional type annotations; supports multiple dispatch based on types. | Dynamically typed with gradual typing; supports type constraints and gradual type checking. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C/Fortran speeds due to JIT compilation (LLVM-based). | Slower than Julia; performance is generally lower due to its dynamic features and less mature optimization. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific computing, data science, and machine learning; growing but smaller than Python. | Smaller library ecosystem; general-purpose modules available but fewer specialized libraries. |
| Community and support | Active and growing community, especially in academia and scientific computing; good documentation and forums. | Smaller, passionate community; support mainly through IRC, mailing lists, and some documentation. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for users familiar with MATLAB or Python; straightforward for scientific programmers. | Steeper due to flexible and expressive syntax; can be challenging for beginners or those new to Perl-like languages. |
