Key differences between Ruby and Raku
| Characteristic | Ruby | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clean, elegant, and inspired by Perl but simplified; uses end keywords for blocks. | More flexible and expressive; supports multiple syntactic forms and custom operators. |
| Paradigm | Primarily object-oriented, also supports functional and imperative programming. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, duck typing, no static type checking. | Gradually typed; supports both dynamic and static typing with optional type constraints. |
| Performance | Generally slower than many compiled languages; mature interpreters (MRI, JRuby) with moderate performance. | Slower than Ruby in most cases due to its complex features and younger implementations. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for web development (e.g., Rails, Sinatra); extensive gems repository. | Smaller ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks, but growing with modules on the Raku ecosystem. |
| Community and support | Large, active, and mature community with extensive documentation and support. | Smaller, passionate community; less mainstream support and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve; beginner-friendly syntax and lots of learning resources. | Steeper learning curve due to advanced features and flexible syntax; fewer beginner resources. |
