Key differences between Kotlin and Raku
| Characteristic | Kotlin | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Concise, modern, and similar to Java; uses curly braces and familiar C-style syntax. | Flexible, expressive, and allows multiple ways to write code; syntax can be more complex and Perl-like. |
| Paradigm | Primarily object-oriented with strong support for functional programming. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, procedural, and concurrent programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | High performance; compiles to JVM bytecode or native binaries. | Generally slower due to its dynamic nature and less mature runtime. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive libraries and frameworks, especially for Android and JVM development. | Smaller ecosystem; has modules available via the Raku ecosystem but fewer mainstream frameworks. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong corporate backing (JetBrains, Google). | Smaller, passionate community; less corporate support and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with Java or C-style languages. | Steeper due to flexible syntax and unique features. |
