Key differences between Raku and Groovy

CharacteristicRakuGroovy
SyntaxFlexible 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.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming.Primarily object-oriented, also supports functional and scripting paradigms.
TypingGradually typed: supports both dynamic and static typing, with type constraints.Dynamically typed by default, but supports optional static typing (via @TypeChecked).
PerformanceGenerally 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 frameworksGrowing 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 supportSmaller, 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 curveSteep, 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.
