This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to Swift in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | Swift |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible 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. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Multi-paradigm: primarily object-oriented and protocol-oriented, with functional programming features. |
| Typing | Gradual typing: supports both dynamic and static typing, with optional type annotations. | Statically typed with strong type inference and strict type safety. |
| Performance | Generally 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 frameworks | Smaller 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 support | Niche 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 curve | Steep, 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. |
