Key differences between OCaml and Raku
| Characteristic | OCaml | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Concise, functional syntax with significant whitespace and pattern matching; influenced by ML family. | Flexible, expressive, and rich syntax; supports multiple paradigms and allows custom operators. |
| Paradigm | Primarily functional, also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. | Multi-paradigm: functional, object-oriented, procedural, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and optional static typing. |
| Performance | Generally fast due to native code compilation and efficient runtime. | Slower than many compiled languages due to its dynamic features and VM overhead. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, but has OPAM package manager and libraries for various domains. | Growing ecosystem with modules available via the Raku ecosystem, but less extensive than more established languages. |
| Community and support | Active academic and industrial community, but relatively small. | Enthusiastic but niche community, smaller than Perl's or mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to functional programming. | Steep, due to its rich feature set and flexible syntax. |
