Key differences between SAS and Raku
| Characteristic | SAS | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Proprietary, data-step and PROC-based, verbose, designed for statistical analysis. | Modern, flexible, Perl-inspired, supports multiple paradigms, concise and expressive. |
| Paradigm | Procedural, some support for object-oriented programming. | Multi-paradigm: procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, implicit typing for variables. | Gradually typed, supports both static and dynamic typing. |
| Performance | Optimized for large-scale data processing, high performance for analytics. | Generally slower than mainstream languages, performance improving but not optimized for data analytics. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive built-in libraries for statistics, analytics, and data management. | Growing ecosystem, fewer libraries, general-purpose modules available via ecosystem (e.g., zef). |
| Community and support | Large enterprise user base, commercial support, extensive documentation. | Smaller, passionate open-source community, community-driven support, evolving documentation. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners, especially for those without a statistics background. | Moderate, easier for those familiar with Perl, flexible syntax can be challenging for newcomers. |
