Key differences between Pascal and Raku
| Characteristic | Pascal | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Strict, verbose, and highly structured with clear block delimiters (begin/end). | Flexible, expressive, and modern with support for multiple syntactic styles and advanced features. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some object-oriented extensions in later versions. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and optional static typing. |
| Performance | Generally fast and efficient, especially in compiled implementations. | Slower than many mainstream languages due to its flexibility and advanced features; performance is improving but still lags behind. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries and frameworks; some available for legacy systems and education. | Growing ecosystem with a central module repository (Raku Modules), but smaller than mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Small, mostly legacy and educational community; limited modern support. | Active but niche community; good online resources and ongoing development. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, designed for teaching programming concepts. | Steeper learning curve due to its rich feature set and flexible syntax. |
