This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to ActionScript in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | ActionScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Modern, concise, inspired by ML-family languages (like Elm, OCaml), uses significant whitespace and pattern matching. | C-like, similar to JavaScript/ECMAScript, uses braces and semicolons, familiar to web developers. |
Paradigm | Functional, immutable by default, strong emphasis on pure functions and pattern matching. | Object-oriented, supports classes and inheritance, with some functional features. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference, no nulls, catches many errors at compile time. | Dynamically typed (ActionScript 2), optionally statically typed (ActionScript 3), but less strict than modern languages. |
Performance | Compiles to efficient Erlang or JavaScript code, suitable for high-concurrency backends. | Runs on Adobe Flash Player or AIR, performance limited by the runtime, not suitable for modern high-performance needs. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, growing set of libraries, can interoperate with Erlang/Elixir libraries. | Rich ecosystem (historically), many libraries for UI, animation, and games, but now largely obsolete. |
Community and support | Small but active and growing community, modern support channels, ongoing development. | Large historical community, but now mostly inactive due to Flash deprecation, limited modern support. |
Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those new to functional programming or ML-style syntax. | Easy for those familiar with JavaScript or C-like languages, but less relevant today. |
