Key differences between Clojure and Perl
Characteristic | Clojure | Perl |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax, which is very different from Perl's syntax. | Perl has a C-like syntax, which is very different from Clojure's syntax. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language, which emphasizes immutability and pure functions. | Perl is a multi-paradigm language, which supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that types are checked at runtime. | Perl is dynamically typed, which means that types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Clojure is known for its good performance, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism. | Perl is not known for its performance, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a rich set of libraries and frameworks, especially for web development and data processing. | Perl has a large number of libraries and frameworks, especially for text processing and system administration. |
Community and support | Clojure has a small but active community, with good documentation and support. | Perl has a large and active community, with good documentation and support. |
