This free online converter lets you convert code from Raku to VBScript in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Raku | VBScript |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Modern, expressive, flexible, supports multiple paradigms, and borrows from Perl but with significant enhancements. | Simple, BASIC-like, designed for ease of use in scripting, less expressive and more verbose. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and reactive programming. | Primarily procedural, with limited support for object-based programming. |
| Typing | Gradual and strong typing; supports type inference and explicit type declarations. | Dynamically typed; variables are loosely typed and types are determined at runtime. |
| Performance | Generally slower than many mainstream languages due to its rich feature set and relatively young ecosystem. | Fast for simple scripts, but limited by its interpreted nature and the host environment (e.g., Windows Script Host or browsers). |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem with modules available via the Raku ecosystem (zef), but smaller than more established languages. | Very limited; mostly relies on Windows built-in components and COM objects. |
| Community and support | Active and passionate but small community; good documentation and ongoing development. | Declining community; mostly legacy support, with limited new development and official support. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to its rich feature set and flexibility. | Gentle, designed for beginners and simple automation tasks. |
