SyntaxSwift has a modern and concise syntax that is similar to other modern programming languages.Perl has a flexible and expressive syntax that allows for powerful text processing and regular expressions.
ParadigmSwift is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming.Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming.
TypingSwift is a statically-typed language with type inference, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time.Perl is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.
PerformanceSwift is known for its high performance and efficiency, making it suitable for resource-intensive applications.Perl is not as performant as some other languages, but it excels in text processing and scripting tasks.
Libraries and frameworksSwift has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for iOS and macOS development.Perl has a comprehensive collection of modules and libraries available through the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN).
Community and supportSwift has a large and active community, with official support from Apple and a variety of online resources.Perl has a dedicated community of developers and a wealth of online resources, but its popularity has declined in recent years.
Learning curveSwift has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with other modern programming languages.Perl has a steep learning curve due to its flexible syntax and extensive feature set.
