Differences

The following are some key differences between Lua and Racket.

Characteristic	Lua	Racket
Syntax	Lua has a simple and lightweight syntax with a focus on simplicity and ease of use.	Racket has a more complex syntax with a focus on expressiveness and extensibility.
Paradigm	Lua is primarily a procedural language with support for functional programming.	Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.
Typing	Lua is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming.	Racket is statically typed, providing more safety and error checking at compile-time.
Performance	Lua is known for its fast and efficient performance.	Racket prioritizes expressiveness over performance, resulting in slower execution times.
Libraries and frameworks	Lua has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Racket.	Racket has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easier to find existing solutions.
Community and support	Lua has a smaller community compared to Racket, but still has active support and resources available.	Racket has a larger and more active community with extensive support and resources.
Learning curve	Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy for beginners to pick up.	Racket has a steeper learning curve due to its more complex syntax and advanced features.
