Key differences between Rust and Raku
| Characteristic | Rust | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, strict, and explicit with a focus on safety and clarity. | Perl-like, flexible, expressive, and allows multiple ways to accomplish tasks. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: primarily systems programming, supports functional and imperative styles. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and strict compile-time checks. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | High performance, comparable to C/C++, suitable for systems-level programming. | Moderate performance, generally slower than Rust due to dynamic features and VM overhead. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem with Cargo package manager, strong support for web, networking, and systems libraries. | Smaller ecosystem, has modules via the zef package manager, fewer mainstream frameworks. |
| Community and support | Large, active, and welcoming community with extensive documentation and support. | Smaller, passionate community, less mainstream support, but helpful and dedicated. |
| Learning curve | Steep, especially due to ownership, borrowing, and lifetime concepts. | Moderate to steep, due to flexible syntax and many advanced features. |
