This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Erlang | Grain |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Prolog-inspired, uses pattern matching, functional with explicit recursion, and unique syntax for message passing. | C-like, modern and concise, designed for readability and familiarity for developers from mainstream languages. |
Paradigm | Functional, concurrent, actor model for distributed systems. | Functional, statically typed, designed for WebAssembly with a focus on immutability. |
Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with type inference. |
Performance | Optimized for massive concurrency and fault tolerance, not raw speed; runs on BEAM VM. | Compiles to WebAssembly for fast execution in browsers and other WASM environments. |
Libraries and frameworks | Mature ecosystem, especially for telecom and distributed systems (e.g., OTP). | Young ecosystem, limited libraries, but growing with focus on WebAssembly. |
Community and support | Large, established community with decades of support and resources. | Small, emerging community with active development but fewer resources. |
Learning curve | Steep, due to unique syntax and concurrency model. | Moderate, more approachable syntax but new concepts for those unfamiliar with functional programming. |
