Key differences between OCaml and Racket

CharacteristicOCamlRacket
SyntaxOCaml has a syntax that is similar to other functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on pattern matching and immutability.Racket has a syntax that is based on Lisp, with a strong emphasis on parentheses and prefix notation.
ParadigmOCaml is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming.Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, imperative programming, and metaprogramming.
TypingOCaml has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time.Racket has a dynamic type system that allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors.
PerformanceOCaml is known for its high performance and efficient execution.Racket prioritizes ease of use and expressiveness over performance.
Libraries and frameworksOCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages, but it has strong support for scientific computing and formal verification.Racket has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for language-oriented programming.
Community and supportOCaml has a smaller community compared to more mainstream languages, but it has dedicated users and active development.Racket has a supportive community with active development and a focus on education.
Learning curveOCaml has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and advanced type system.Racket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its simplicity and extensive documentation.
