This free online converter lets you convert code from Csharp to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Csharp | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and familiar constructs for those with Java/C++ experience. | OCaml/Elm-inspired syntax, indentation-based, concise, and designed for clarity and safety. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: object-oriented, functional, imperative, and component-oriented. | Purely functional, emphasizing immutability and strong type safety. |
| Typing | Statically typed with type inference; supports generics and nullable types. | Statically typed with strong, sound type inference and no nulls; types are always explicit and safe. |
| Performance | High performance, runs on .NET runtime, JIT-compiled, suitable for a wide range of applications. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of those runtimes, optimized for reliability and concurrency. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem with mature libraries and frameworks (e.g., .NET, ASP.NET, Entity Framework). | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries via interop, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, active community with strong corporate backing (Microsoft), extensive documentation and support. | Small but growing community, mostly open-source contributors, limited resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Moderate; easier for those familiar with C-style languages, lots of learning resources available. | Steeper for those new to functional programming, but syntax and type system designed to be beginner-friendly. |
