This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to TypeScript in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | TypeScript |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible and expressive, supports multiple programming styles, Perl-inspired with many enhancements. | Strict, JavaScript-based with added type annotations, designed for clarity and maintainability. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent programming. | Multi-paradigm: primarily object-oriented and functional, built on top of JavaScript. |
| Typing | Gradual and optional static typing, supports dynamic typing as well. | Statically typed (with type inference), types are optional and can be gradually adopted. |
| Performance | Generally slower due to its rich feature set and runtime flexibility. | Compiles to JavaScript, performance depends on the JavaScript engine; typically faster in web environments. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks compared to mainstream languages. | Large ecosystem, access to all JavaScript libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue). |
| Community and support | Smaller, passionate community; less corporate backing and fewer resources. | Large, active community with strong corporate support (Microsoft); extensive resources and documentation. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to its unique syntax and extensive features. | Moderate, especially for those familiar with JavaScript; learning curve mainly in understanding type system. |
