Key differences between TypeScript and Raku
| Characteristic | TypeScript | Raku |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-style syntax, similar to JavaScript with added type annotations. | Perl-inspired syntax, flexible and expressive, supports multiple paradigms natively. |
| Paradigm | Primarily object-oriented and functional, as an extension of JavaScript. | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, procedural, concurrent, and more. |
| Typing | Statically typed (with optional types), type checking at compile time. | Dynamically typed by default, but supports gradual and optional static typing. |
| Performance | Compiles to JavaScript, performance depends on JavaScript engine (generally fast in browsers and Node.js). | Generally slower than mainstream languages due to its rich feature set and relatively young runtime. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem, can use all JavaScript libraries and frameworks (React, Angular, Vue, etc.). | Smaller ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks, but has a growing module repository (Raku modules). |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong support from Microsoft and widespread industry adoption. | Smaller, passionate community, less mainstream support, but active development and helpful forums. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with JavaScript; mainly adds type system and tooling. | Steeper due to unique syntax and advanced features, especially for those not familiar with Perl. |
