This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Perl in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | Perl |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Modern, clean, and concise syntax inspired by ML-family languages; designed for readability and simplicity. | Flexible, expressive, and sometimes cryptic syntax; known for 'There's more than one way to do it' philosophy. |
Paradigm | Functional programming; emphasizes immutability and pure functions. | Multi-paradigm; supports procedural, object-oriented, and some functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong type inference and a focus on type safety. | Dynamically typed; types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the Erlang VM (good for concurrency and fault tolerance). | Interpreted language; generally fast for text processing but not optimized for concurrency or high-performance computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Smaller ecosystem; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interop, but native Gleam libraries are limited. | Large and mature ecosystem (CPAN) with thousands of libraries and modules for various tasks. |
Community and support | Growing but small community; active development but limited resources and support compared to older languages. | Large, established, and global community; extensive documentation and long-term support. |
Learning curve | Gentle learning curve for those familiar with functional programming; clear syntax and strong type system help beginners. | Steep learning curve due to flexible syntax and multiple ways to accomplish tasks; can be challenging for beginners. |
