Key differences between SQL and Raku
| Characteristic | SQL | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Declarative, uses statements like SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE; case-insensitive keywords. | Imperative and object-oriented; uses C-like syntax with Perl influences; case-sensitive. |
| Paradigm | Declarative; focuses on what data to retrieve or manipulate. | Multi-paradigm; supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, and concurrent programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed at runtime; types are defined at the schema level. | Strongly and gradually typed; supports type annotations and type inference. |
| Performance | Optimized for set-based operations on large datasets; performance depends on the database engine. | General-purpose; performance varies by implementation, generally slower than compiled languages. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensions and functions provided by database vendors; limited external libraries. | Growing ecosystem of modules (via Raku modules and zef); fewer libraries compared to mainstream languages. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and well-established community; extensive documentation and support. | Smaller, niche community; active but less extensive support and resources. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easy to start with basic queries, but advanced features can be complex. | Steep; flexible syntax and advanced features can be challenging for beginners. |
