This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Carbon in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Gleam | Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Clean, ML-inspired syntax similar to Elm and OCaml, designed for readability and simplicity. | C++-like syntax, designed to be familiar to C++ developers and to ease migration from C++. |
| Paradigm | Functional programming, immutable by default, strong emphasis on pure functions. | Multi-paradigm, supports both procedural and object-oriented programming, with a focus on modern systems programming. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls. | Statically typed with strong type safety, designed to improve on C++'s type system. |
| Performance | Runs on BEAM (Erlang VM), optimized for concurrency and fault tolerance rather than raw speed. | Aims for high performance, targeting native code and low-level systems programming, similar to C++. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. | Very early stage, limited libraries, but aims for interoperability with existing C++ libraries. |
| Community and support | Small but growing community, active development, good documentation. | Very early stage, small community, backed by Google, limited real-world usage. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming; approachable syntax and clear error messages. | Easier for C++ developers due to similar syntax, but still evolving and may require learning new concepts. |
