Key differences between Raku and Zig

CharacteristicRakuZig
SyntaxExpressive, flexible, Perl-inspired with support for multiple paradigms and custom operators.Simple, explicit, C-like with modern improvements and minimal syntax.
ParadigmMulti-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent programming.Primarily procedural and systems programming, with some support for generic programming.
TypingDynamically typed by default, with optional static typing and gradual typing features.Statically typed with strong, explicit type system and compile-time evaluation.
PerformanceGenerally slower due to dynamic features and rich runtime; not focused on raw speed.High performance, close to C/C++ with focus on predictable and efficient code.
Libraries and frameworksGrowing but limited ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks compared to mainstream languages.Smaller ecosystem; relies on C libraries for many tasks, with native libraries still maturing.
Community and supportSmall but passionate community; support mainly through forums, IRC, and documentation.Active and growing community; good engagement on GitHub, Discord, and forums.
Learning curveSteep due to expressive syntax and many features; flexibility can be overwhelming for beginners.Moderate; simple syntax but requires understanding of low-level concepts and manual memory management.
