Key differences between Scala and Raku
| Characteristic | Scala | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Syntax is concise, influenced by Java, supports both object-oriented and functional constructs, and is statically typed. | Syntax is flexible, expressive, and allows multiple ways to accomplish tasks; supports many paradigms and is more permissive than Scala. |
| Paradigm | Supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference; strong type system. | Dynamically typed by default but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | Runs on the JVM, generally high performance, suitable for large-scale applications. | Slower than Scala; performance is improving but not as fast as JVM-based languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, access to Java libraries, popular frameworks like Akka, Play, and Spark. | Smaller ecosystem, growing set of modules, not as many mature frameworks as Scala. |
| Community and support | Large, active community, strong industry adoption, good documentation and support. | Smaller, passionate community, less industry adoption, but helpful and welcoming. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to advanced features and complex type system. | Moderate to steep learning curve due to flexible syntax and multiple paradigms. |
