This free online converter lets you convert code from Gleam to Racket in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Gleam | Racket |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Has a syntax similar to ML-family languages (like OCaml or Elm), with a focus on clarity and simplicity. | Uses a Lisp-like, parenthesis-heavy syntax, which is highly flexible and supports powerful macro systems. |
Paradigm | Primarily functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. | Multi-paradigm; supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no nulls. | Dynamically typed by default, but optional static typing is available via Typed Racket. |
Performance | Compiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the Erlang VM (good for concurrency, not raw speed). | Runs on its own virtual machine; performance is generally good for scripting and education, but not optimized for high-performance computing. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ecosystem is growing but still limited; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interop. | Mature ecosystem with many libraries, especially for language design, education, and scripting. |
Community and support | Small but active and friendly community; newer language with less widespread adoption. | Established community, strong academic and educational support, and extensive documentation. |
Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with ML-like languages; may be steeper for newcomers to functional programming. | Beginner-friendly, especially for those new to programming, but the Lisp syntax can be challenging for some. |
