This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Nim in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | Nim |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Inspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml), uses significant whitespace, concise and modern syntax. | Python-like syntax with indentation, but supports curly braces and semicolons; flexible and expressive. |
Paradigm | Functional, immutable by default, designed for reliability and safety. | Multi-paradigm: supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed, strong type inference, no nulls, no exceptions. | Statically typed, strong type inference, supports optional dynamic typing. |
Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; performance is similar to Erlang/Elixir, optimized for concurrency. | Compiles to C, C++, or JavaScript; performance is close to C/C++ for native targets. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but native Gleam libraries are fewer. | Growing standard library and third-party packages, can use C libraries easily via FFI. |
Community and support | Small but active and friendly community, mostly centered around functional programming and BEAM. | Larger and more established community, broader range of use cases and resources. |
Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with functional programming, but may be new for others; simple and consistent. | Easy for those with Python or C experience, but advanced features can increase complexity. |
