This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to R in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | R |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Has a syntax inspired by ML-family languages (like OCaml), concise and statically checked, designed for clarity and safety. | Has a unique, vectorized syntax tailored for statistical computing and data analysis, often considered idiosyncratic. |
Paradigm | Functional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Multi-paradigm but primarily functional and procedural, with some object-oriented features. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls. | Dynamically typed, with flexible and sometimes ambiguous type handling. |
Performance | Compiles to efficient Erlang or JavaScript code, suitable for high-concurrency and backend systems. | Interpreted, generally slower, optimized for data analysis tasks rather than general-purpose performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing ecosystem, can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. | Extensive libraries for statistics, data analysis, and visualization; CRAN repository is a major resource. |
Community and support | Small but active and enthusiastic community, mostly early adopters and functional programming enthusiasts. | Large, mature, and well-established community, especially in academia and data science. |
Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those new to functional programming or static typing. | Steep for those unfamiliar with its syntax and data structures, but well-documented for statistical tasks. |
