This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clean, concise, and inspired by ML-family languages; uses significant whitespace and is statically structured. | Lisp-based, uses lots of parentheses, prefix notation, and is homoiconic. |
Paradigm | Functional programming with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Functional programming with support for immutable data structures, but also allows mutable state via controlled constructs. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and a focus on type safety. | Dynamically typed, though optional static typing is available via core.typed. |
Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits good concurrency and reliability from BEAM, but not as fast as low-level languages. | Runs on the JVM (and other platforms); benefits from JVM performance and optimizations, generally faster than interpreted languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. | Large ecosystem, can use Java libraries directly, and has many mature Clojure-specific libraries. |
Community and support | Growing but relatively small community; support mainly through forums and GitHub. | Established and active community with extensive documentation, forums, and conferences. |
Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with ML-style languages; simple syntax but new to many due to BEAM concepts. | Steep for newcomers due to Lisp syntax and functional paradigm, but rewarding for those who persist. |
