Key differences between Racket and Zig

CharacteristicRacketZig
SyntaxLisp-like, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic and highly regular.C-like, uses braces and semicolons, more traditional and explicit syntax.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm, primarily functional, supports imperative and object-oriented styles.Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming.
TypingDynamically typed (with optional static typing via Typed Racket).Statically typed, strong and explicit type system.
PerformanceInterpreted or compiled to bytecode, generally slower than low-level languages.Compiled to native code, high performance, close to C/C++.
Libraries and frameworksRich ecosystem for language design, education, scripting, and web development.Smaller ecosystem, focused on systems programming, interoperability with C libraries.
Community and supportEstablished academic and educational community, good documentation and resources.Growing but smaller community, active development, documentation improving.
Learning curveSteep for those unfamiliar with Lisp syntax, but beginner-friendly for learning programming concepts.Moderate, easier for those with C/C++ background, but some unique concepts to learn.
