Key differences between Clojure and Racket
Characteristic | Clojure | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and immutability. | Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on expressiveness and extensibility. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Racket is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming paradigms. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. | Racket is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Clojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient implementation on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). | Racket is an interpreted language and may have slower performance compared to compiled languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with good integration with Java libraries. | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on language-oriented programming. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community with regular updates and contributions. | Racket has a dedicated community with active development and support from the creators. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like syntax. | Racket has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like syntax. |
