Differences

The following are some key differences between JavaScript and Perl.

Characteristic	JavaScript	Perl
Syntax	JavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, while also supporting functional programming concepts such as anonymous functions and closures.	Perl has a syntax that is heavily influenced by Unix command line utilities, with a focus on regular expressions and string manipulation.
Paradigm	JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming styles.	Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles.
Typing	JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.	Perl is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.
Performance	JavaScript is generally considered to be slower than compiled languages like C++ or Java, but modern JavaScript engines have made significant performance improvements.	Perl is generally considered to be slower than compiled languages like C++ or Java, but it is optimized for text processing and has a number of built-in features that make it efficient for certain tasks.
Libraries and frameworks	JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular front-end frameworks like React and Angular, as well as back-end frameworks like Node.js and Express.	Perl has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has a number of useful modules for tasks like text processing and system administration.
Community and support	JavaScript has a large and active community, with many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.	Perl has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but it has a dedicated following and many resources available for learning and troubleshooting.
Learning curve	JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve for basic tasks, but can become more complex when working with advanced concepts like closures and asynchronous programming.	Perl has a steeper learning curve compared to JavaScript, due to its unique syntax and focus on regular expressions.
