PerformanceGenerally slower than many mainstream languages due to its rich feature set and runtime complexity.Lightweight and fast, suitable for scripting and embedding, often faster than Raku for small scripts.
Libraries and frameworksGrowing ecosystem with modules available via the Raku ecosystem, but smaller than more established languages.Smaller standard library and fewer third-party libraries, but easy to extend with C and embed in applications.
Community and supportActive but niche community, good documentation, and ongoing development.Small but enthusiastic community, limited resources and documentation compared to larger languages.
Learning curveSteep, due to its extensive features, flexible syntax, and unique concepts.Moderate, especially for those familiar with Lisp-like languages; simple core but metaprogramming can be complex.
