Key differences between Raku and Racket

CharacteristicRakuRacket
SyntaxPerl-inspired, flexible, allows multiple styles, uses sigils and rich regex syntax.Lisp/Scheme-based, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic core.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming.Multi-paradigm: primarily functional and procedural, supports object-oriented and logic programming.
TypingGradual typing: supports both dynamic and static typing, type annotations are optional.Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket.
PerformanceGenerally slower due to rich features and relatively young VM (MoarVM), but improving.Moderate performance, mature JIT compiler, often faster than Raku for many tasks.
Libraries and frameworksGrowing ecosystem, fewer libraries compared to older languages, has zef for package management.Extensive standard library, many packages via the Racket package system, strong support for language-oriented programming.
Community and supportSmaller, passionate community, active development, good documentation, but fewer users.Well-established academic and educational community, strong support, extensive documentation.
Learning curveSteep due to flexible syntax and many features, but approachable for those familiar with Perl.Moderate; simple core syntax but prefix notation and parentheses can be challenging for beginners.
