This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Raku in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Matlab | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Proprietary, matrix-oriented, concise for mathematical operations, uses end statements for blocks. | Flexible, expressive, Perl-inspired, supports multiple paradigms, uses sigils and advanced regex. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural and array-based, with some object-oriented features. | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, weak typing, variables can change type at runtime. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and strong typing with optional type constraints. |
| Performance | Optimized for numerical and matrix computations, often faster for math-heavy tasks, but slower for general-purpose code. | Generally slower than Matlab for numerical tasks, but performance can vary; still maturing in optimization. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive built-in libraries for math, engineering, signal processing, and toolboxes for specialized domains. | Growing ecosystem, general-purpose modules available via ecosystem (zef), but fewer scientific libraries. |
| Community and support | Large academic and industry user base, strong official support, active forums, and documentation. | Smaller, passionate community, active development, good documentation, but less mainstream support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for beginners in engineering/science, especially for those familiar with math notation. | Steeper due to flexible syntax and advanced features, but approachable for those with Perl or programming experience. |
