Key differences between Raku and Kotlin
| Characteristic | Raku | Kotlin |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible and expressive, supports multiple programming styles, allows for custom operators and grammars, and is known for its rich and sometimes complex syntax. | Concise, modern, and statically structured syntax, designed to be easy to read and write, and interoperable with Java. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily object-oriented and functional, with strong support for imperative and declarative styles. |
| Typing | Gradually typed: supports both dynamic and static typing, with optional type annotations. | Statically typed with type inference, ensuring type safety at compile time. |
| Performance | Generally slower due to its dynamic features and rich runtime, though performance is improving. | High performance, comparable to Java, as it compiles to JVM bytecode or native binaries. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem with fewer libraries and frameworks, though it has a growing module repository (Raku Modules). | Large ecosystem, can use all Java libraries and frameworks, plus Kotlin-specific ones like Ktor and kotlinx. |
| Community and support | Smaller, passionate community with active development, but less corporate backing and fewer resources. | Large and rapidly growing community, strong support from JetBrains and Google, extensive documentation and resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to its flexible syntax and many features, but powerful once mastered. | Gentle learning curve, especially for those familiar with Java or modern programming languages. |
