Key differences between Raku and Lua
| Characteristic | Raku | Lua |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Rich, expressive, and flexible syntax with influences from Perl; supports multiple ways to accomplish tasks. | Simple, minimalistic, and lightweight syntax designed for embedding and ease of use. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily procedural, with support for data-driven and basic object-oriented programming via metatables. |
| Typing | Gradually typed: supports both dynamic and static typing with optional type annotations. | Dynamically typed: all variables are dynamically typed with no built-in static type checking. |
| Performance | Generally slower due to its rich feature set and runtime complexity. | Very fast and lightweight, designed for high performance and low memory usage. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem with modules available via the Raku ecosystem, but smaller than more established languages. | Moderate ecosystem, especially strong in game development and embedded systems; many libraries available via LuaRocks. |
| Community and support | Active but relatively small community; good documentation and helpful forums. | Larger and well-established community, especially in game development and embedded applications. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to its expressive syntax and many advanced features. | Gentle, thanks to its simplicity and minimalistic design. |
