This free online converter lets you convert code from Ada to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Ada | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Verbose, Pascal-like, uses explicit block structures and strong typing. | Concise, inspired by ML-family languages, uses significant whitespace and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and object-oriented, with some support for concurrent and real-time programming. | Functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Statically typed, strong type checking, supports user-defined types and generics. | Statically typed, strong type inference, no runtime type errors, uses Hindley-Milner type system. |
| Performance | Compiled to native code, high performance, suitable for real-time and embedded systems. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, performance depends on target platform, optimized for concurrency. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited modern libraries, some support for embedded, safety-critical, and real-time systems. | Growing ecosystem, can use Erlang and Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Small but established community, strong in aerospace, defense, and safety-critical industries. | Small and emerging community, active development, mostly open source contributors. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to verbosity, strictness, and unique features for safety-critical programming. | Moderate, easier for those familiar with functional programming, clear and modern syntax. |
