Key differences between Racket and Erlang

CharacteristicRacketErlang
SyntaxRacket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and parentheses.Erlang has a Prolog-like syntax with pattern matching and function clauses.
ParadigmRacket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming and object-oriented programming.Erlang is primarily a functional programming language with support for concurrent and distributed programming.
TypingRacket is a dynamically typed language.Erlang is a dynamically typed language.
PerformanceRacket is generally slower in terms of performance compared to low-level languages.Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may not be as performant for certain tasks.
Libraries and frameworksRacket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes.Erlang has a strong focus on building fault-tolerant and scalable systems, with libraries and frameworks specifically designed for that purpose.
Community and supportRacket has an active community and good documentation.Erlang has a dedicated community and good support for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems.
Learning curveRacket has a moderate learning curve, especially for those new to Lisp-like syntax.Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming and pattern matching.
