This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible and expressive syntax with support for multiple paradigms and custom operators; can be complex for beginners. | C-like syntax designed to be familiar to C++ developers, aiming for clarity and simplicity. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily multi-paradigm with a focus on procedural and object-oriented programming, designed as a successor to C++. |
| Typing | Gradually typed with support for both dynamic and static typing; type constraints are optional. | Statically typed with strong type safety, aiming for modern type system improvements over C++. |
| Performance | Generally slower than many mainstream languages due to its flexibility and runtime features. | Aims for high performance comparable to or better than C++, suitable for systems programming. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Has a growing but relatively small ecosystem of libraries and modules (called 'modules' or 'distributions'). | Ecosystem is nascent; intended to interoperate with existing C++ libraries but native libraries are limited as of now. |
| Community and support | Small but passionate and active community; support mainly through forums, IRC, and documentation. | Very early-stage community, mostly driven by Google and open source contributors; limited support resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to its rich feature set and flexible syntax. | Moderate learning curve for C++ developers; designed to be easier to learn than C++ but still under development. |
