Key differences between Raku and Lisp

CharacteristicRakuLisp
SyntaxRich, flexible, Perl-inspired syntax with support for multiple paradigms and custom operators.Minimalist, parenthesis-heavy prefix notation (S-expressions), highly uniform and simple.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming.Primarily functional and symbolic, but also supports procedural and object-oriented paradigms.
TypingGradual typing: supports both dynamic and static typing with optional type annotations.Dynamically typed, though some dialects (like Common Lisp) allow optional type declarations.
PerformanceGenerally slower than many mainstream languages due to its rich feature set and relatively young ecosystem.Performance varies by implementation; some (like SBCL for Common Lisp) are highly optimized and can be fast.
Libraries and frameworksGrowing but limited ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks compared to older languages.Mature but smaller ecosystem; many libraries exist, especially for Common Lisp, but not as extensive as mainstream languages.
Community and supportSmall but active and welcoming community; official documentation and some online resources available.Long-standing, knowledgeable community; good documentation, mailing lists, and some active forums.
Learning curveModerate to steep due to its expressive syntax and many features.Steep for beginners due to unique syntax (S-expressions), but core concepts are simple once learned.
