This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to Perl in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | Perl |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | More modern, expressive, and flexible syntax with significant changes from Perl; supports gradual typing and new constructs. | Older, concise, and sometimes cryptic syntax; known for 'There's more than one way to do it' philosophy. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily procedural and object-oriented, with some functional programming features. |
| Typing | Gradual and optional static typing; supports type constraints and type inference. | Dynamically typed with no built-in support for static typing. |
| Performance | Generally slower than Perl due to its newer and more complex implementation. | Faster in most cases due to mature and optimized interpreter. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks available compared to Perl. | Large and mature ecosystem with extensive CPAN repository. |
| Community and support | Smaller but active and enthusiastic community; growing support. | Large, established, and well-supported community with decades of resources. |
| Learning curve | Steeper learning curve due to new concepts and syntax, even for experienced Perl users. | Easier for beginners to start with simple scripts, but can become complex with advanced features. |
