This free online converter lets you convert code from C++ to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | C++ | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Complex, C-style syntax with manual memory management and extensive use of curly braces and semicolons. | Simple, clean, and indentation-based syntax inspired by ML-family languages, designed for readability. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and generic programming. | Functional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Statically typed with manual type declarations and some type inference (since C++11). | Statically typed with strong type inference and no nulls, designed to prevent runtime type errors. |
| Performance | Very high performance, close to hardware, suitable for systems programming and real-time applications. | Runs on BEAM (Erlang VM) or JavaScript, prioritizing safety and concurrency over raw performance. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem with mature libraries and frameworks for almost every domain. | Smaller ecosystem, can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, established community with decades of resources, tutorials, and support. | Growing but small community, with active development and increasing resources. |
| Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to complex syntax, manual memory management, and advanced features. | Gentle learning curve, designed for simplicity and safety, easier for beginners in functional programming. |
