Key differences between Swift and Raku
| Characteristic | Swift | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clean, modern, and concise syntax inspired by Objective-C and other modern languages; designed for readability and safety. | Flexible, expressive, and rich syntax with support for multiple paradigms and custom operators; can be more complex and Perl-like. |
| Paradigm | Primarily multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented, protocol-oriented, and functional programming. | Highly multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, functional, concurrent, and declarative programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and optional dynamic features. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual typing and type constraints. |
| Performance | High performance, compiled to native code; optimized for Apple platforms. | Generally slower than Swift; interpreted or JIT-compiled, with performance improvements ongoing. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for iOS, macOS, and server-side development; strong support from Apple. | Smaller ecosystem; has a growing set of modules (Raku modules), but fewer libraries and frameworks compared to Swift. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong backing from Apple and extensive resources. | Smaller, passionate community; less mainstream support and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Relatively easy for beginners, especially those familiar with modern languages; good documentation. | Steeper learning curve due to flexible syntax and advanced features; documentation improving but less extensive. |
