CharacteristicRacketElm
SyntaxRacket has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation.Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell with strong static typing and type inference.
ParadigmRacket supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.Elm is a purely functional programming language.
TypingRacket has dynamic typing with optional type annotations.Elm has strong static typing with type inference.
PerformanceRacket is an interpreted language and may have slower performance compared to compiled languages.Elm compiles to highly optimized JavaScript code and has good performance.
