Key differences between Racket and OCaml

CharacteristicRacketOCaml
SyntaxRacket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and uses parentheses extensively.OCaml has a more traditional syntax with infix notation and uses semicolons and parentheses for grouping.
ParadigmRacket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, object-oriented programming, and logic programming.OCaml is primarily a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming.
TypingRacket is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and expressive code.OCaml is statically typed, providing strong type checking and compile-time type inference.
PerformanceRacket is generally slower in terms of performance compared to OCaml.OCaml is known for its efficient performance and can be faster than Racket in many cases.
Libraries and frameworksRacket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for various purposes, including web development, GUI programming, and data analysis.OCaml has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Racket, but it still offers support for web development, systems programming, and scientific computing.
Community and supportRacket has a supportive and active community with regular updates and documentation.OCaml also has a dedicated community, but it may not be as large or active as Racket's community.
Learning curveRacket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners due to its simplicity and extensive documentation.OCaml has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners, as it requires understanding functional programming concepts and its type system.
