How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Crystal in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Haskell code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Crystal code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Haskell to Crystal using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Haskell and Crystal
Characteristic | Haskell | Crystal |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell has a unique syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is known for its strong type inference. | Crystal has a syntax similar to Ruby, with some additional features like static typing. |
Paradigm | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. | Crystal is a statically typed, object-oriented programming language with some functional programming features. |
Typing | Haskell has strong static typing with type inference. | Crystal has static typing with type inference, but also allows for dynamic typing when needed. |
Performance | Haskell is known for its high performance, especially in terms of memory usage. | Crystal aims to have a similar performance to statically typed languages like C or C++, but with a more expressive syntax. |
Libraries and frameworks | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more popular languages. | Crystal has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to more established languages, but it is growing. |
Community and support | Haskell has a dedicated and active community, with good support available through forums, mailing lists, and online resources. | Crystal has a smaller community compared to more popular languages, but it is growing and has active support channels. |
Learning curve | Haskell has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Crystal has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or other similar languages. |
