Syntax | Perl has a complex syntax with a lot of special characters and syntax constructs. | Golang has a simple and concise syntax with a focus on readability and ease of use. |
Paradigm | Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. | Golang is a statically typed, compiled language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and concurrent programming. |
Typing | Perl is a dynamically typed language. | Golang is a statically typed language. |
Performance | Perl is generally slower than Golang due to its interpreted nature and dynamic typing. | Golang is generally faster than Perl due to its compiled nature and static typing. |
