This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Elixir in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | Elixir |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Has a syntax similar to ML-family languages (like OCaml or ReasonML), with a focus on simplicity and readability. | Has a Ruby-inspired syntax, designed to be expressive and approachable for developers. |
Paradigm | Functional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Functional programming, with support for concurrency and actor-based design via the BEAM VM. |
Typing | Statically typed with a strong, sound type system and type inference. | Dynamically typed, with types checked at runtime. |
Performance | Generally faster due to static typing and optimizations, but both compile to BEAM bytecode so performance is similar for many workloads. | Very good performance for concurrent and distributed systems, leveraging the BEAM VM. |
Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. | Rich ecosystem with mature frameworks like Phoenix for web development and Nerves for IoT. |
Community and support | Growing but relatively small community; less mature support resources. | Large, active community with extensive documentation, tutorials, and support channels. |
Learning curve | Easier for those familiar with statically typed functional languages; may be harder for beginners or those used to dynamic languages. | Gentle learning curve, especially for Ruby or dynamic language developers; good onboarding resources. |
