How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Elm to Fortran in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Elm code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Fortran code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elm to Fortran using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Elm and Fortran
Characteristic | Elm | Fortran |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax inspired by Haskell and is known for its simplicity and readability. | Fortran has a syntax that is more traditional and can be considered less modern compared to Elm. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions. | Fortran is a procedural programming language that focuses on imperative programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | Fortran has a static type system, but it is not as strict as Elm's. |
Performance | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance optimizations for web applications. | Fortran is known for its high performance in scientific and numerical computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a smaller ecosystem compared to Fortran, but it has a strong focus on functional reactive programming and provides libraries like Elm UI and Elm Architecture. | Fortran has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for scientific and numerical computing, as well as general-purpose programming. |
Community and support | Elm has a growing community and provides official documentation and support through its website and forums. | Fortran has a long-established community and extensive support resources, including online forums, documentation, and libraries. |
Learning curve | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts. | Fortran has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers without prior experience in scientific or numerical computing. |
