This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to Groovy in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | Groovy |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible and expressive, supports multiple paradigms, allows for custom operators and grammars, Perl-inspired but more modern. | Concise and readable, similar to Java but with less boilerplate, supports optional parentheses and semicolons. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily object-oriented, also supports functional and scripting paradigms. |
| Typing | Gradually typed: supports both dynamic and static typing, with type constraints. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports optional static typing (via @TypeChecked). |
| Performance | Generally slower due to its flexibility and advanced features; performance is improving but not on par with mainstream languages. | Runs on the JVM, typically faster than Raku, but slower than pure Java; performance can be improved with static compilation. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem, but fewer libraries and frameworks compared to mainstream languages. | Rich ecosystem, can use all Java libraries, and has popular frameworks like Grails and Spock. |
| Community and support | Smaller, passionate community; less corporate backing; support mainly through forums and IRC. | Larger community, strong support from the Java ecosystem, good documentation and active forums. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to its unique features, flexible syntax, and multi-paradigm nature. | Gentle, especially for those familiar with Java; easy to pick up for scripting and automation. |
