Key differences between Racket and Haskell
Characteristic | Racket | Haskell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and parentheses for function calls and expressions. | Haskell has a more traditional syntax with infix notation and uses indentation for block structure. |
Paradigm | Racket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming. | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Racket is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. | Haskell is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile time. |
Performance | Racket is generally slower in terms of performance compared to Haskell. | Haskell is known for its strong performance and optimization capabilities. |
Libraries and frameworks | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks available for various purposes. | Haskell also has a wide range of libraries and frameworks, although the ecosystem may not be as extensive as some other languages. |
Community and support | Racket has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the developers. | Haskell has a strong and active community with good support from both the community and the language developers. |
Learning curve | Racket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners with prior experience in programming. | Haskell has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners without prior experience in functional programming. |
