Key differences between Perl and Haskell

CharacteristicPerlHaskell
SyntaxPerl has a flexible and expressive syntax with a lot of built-in features and shortcuts.Haskell has a more strict and concise syntax with a focus on functional programming.
ParadigmPerl supports multiple programming paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.Haskell is a purely functional programming language.
TypingPerl is dynamically typed, allowing variables to hold values of any type.Haskell is statically typed, ensuring type safety at compile-time.
PerformancePerl is known for its flexibility and ease of use, but it may not be as performant as some other languages.Haskell is designed for high-performance computing and can be optimized for efficient execution.
Libraries and frameworksPerl has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes, including web development, database access, and text processing.Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for functional programming and type-driven development.
Community and supportPerl has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support resources available.Haskell has a smaller but dedicated community with strong academic and research ties.
Learning curvePerl has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those familiar with scripting languages.Haskell has a steeper learning curve, particularly for those new to functional programming concepts.
