Key differences between Raku and Swift

CharacteristicRakuSwift
SyntaxFlexible and expressive, supports multiple styles (Perl-like, functional, object-oriented), allows custom operators and grammars.Clean, modern, and concise; designed for readability and safety, with strict syntax rules.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming.Multi-paradigm: primarily object-oriented and protocol-oriented, with functional programming features.
TypingGradual typing: supports both dynamic and static typing, with optional type annotations.Statically typed with strong type inference and strict type safety.
PerformanceGenerally slower due to its flexibility and dynamic features; performance is improving but not on par with compiled languages.High performance, compiled to native code, optimized for Apple platforms.
Libraries and frameworksSmaller ecosystem, with modules available via the Raku ecosystem (e.g., zef), but fewer libraries compared to mainstream languages.Rich ecosystem, especially for iOS/macOS development; strong support from Apple and third-party frameworks.
Community and supportNiche but passionate community, less mainstream support, limited resources compared to major languages.Large, active community with strong backing from Apple, extensive documentation, and widespread industry adoption.
Learning curveSteep, due to its flexibility, unique features, and multiple paradigms; can be challenging for beginners.Moderate, designed to be approachable for beginners, especially those familiar with Apple development.
