Key differences between Scala and Racket

CharacteristicScalaRacket
SyntaxScala has a syntax that is similar to Java and supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.Racket has a Lisp-like syntax that is based on parentheses and supports both functional and imperative programming paradigms.
ParadigmScala supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.Racket supports both functional and imperative programming paradigms.
TypingScala is statically typed, which means that type checking is done at compile-time.Racket is dynamically typed, which means that type checking is done at runtime.
PerformanceScala is known for its performance and can be comparable to Java in terms of speed.Racket is not known for its performance and is generally slower compared to other languages.
Libraries and frameworksScala has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including popular ones like Akka and Play.Racket has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Scala.
Community and supportScala has a large and active community with good support from the community and commercial vendors.Racket has a smaller community compared to Scala, but still has good support from the community.
Learning curveScala has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its complex syntax and advanced features.Racket has a relatively low learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its simple syntax and clear documentation.
