Key differences between Ruby and Racket

CharacteristicRubyRacket
SyntaxRuby has a more flexible and expressive syntax with a focus on readability and simplicity.Racket has a more structured and consistent syntax with a focus on functional programming.
ParadigmRuby is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented programming, procedural programming, and functional programming.Racket is a functional programming language that encourages immutability and pure functions.
TypingRuby is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Racket is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time.
PerformanceRuby is generally slower in terms of performance compared to languages like Java or C++.Racket is an interpreted language and may have slower performance compared to compiled languages.
Libraries and frameworksRuby has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as Ruby on Rails, which makes web development easier.Racket has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Ruby, but it has a strong focus on language-oriented programming.
Community and supportRuby has a large and active community with extensive documentation and support available.Racket has a smaller community compared to Ruby, but it has dedicated users and good documentation.
Learning curveRuby has a relatively low learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its readable syntax and focus on simplicity.Racket has a steeper learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its functional programming paradigm and more structured syntax.
