This free online converter lets you convert code from Crystal to Zig in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Crystal | Zig |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Similar to Ruby, with clean and expressive syntax. | C-like syntax, minimalistic and explicit. |
| Paradigm | Object-oriented, supports functional programming features. | Imperative and procedural, with manual memory management. |
| Typing | Static, inferred typing with optional type annotations. | Static, explicit typing with strong type safety. |
| Performance | High performance, compiles to native code using LLVM, close to C. | Very high performance, compiles directly to machine code, often matches or exceeds C. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem, includes web frameworks like Amber and Lucky. | Smaller ecosystem, fewer high-level libraries, focus on low-level and systems programming. |
| Community and support | Active but relatively small community, good documentation. | Rapidly growing community, strong presence in systems programming circles, good official documentation. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for Ruby developers, moderate for others. | Steeper, especially for those unfamiliar with low-level programming concepts. |
