This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to Racket in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | Racket |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Perl-inspired, flexible, allows multiple styles, uses sigils and rich regex syntax. | Lisp/Scheme-based, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, minimalistic core. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Multi-paradigm: primarily functional and procedural, supports object-oriented and logic programming. |
| Typing | Gradual typing: supports both dynamic and static typing, type annotations are optional. | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing via Typed Racket. |
| Performance | Generally 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 frameworks | Growing 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 support | Smaller, passionate community, active development, good documentation, but fewer users. | Well-established academic and educational community, strong support, extensive documentation. |
| Learning curve | Steep 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. |
