This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Haskell | Gleam |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Uses a concise, indentation-sensitive syntax with significant whitespace and infix operators; can be challenging for beginners. | Has a simple, ML-inspired syntax with clear structure and explicit delimiters; designed for readability and approachability. |
Paradigm | Purely functional programming with lazy evaluation and strong emphasis on immutability. | Functional programming with strict (eager) evaluation, designed for simplicity and practical use on the BEAM (Erlang VM). |
Typing | Statically typed with advanced type system features like type inference, type classes, and higher-kinded types. | Statically typed with type inference and algebraic data types, but with a simpler type system than Haskell. |
Performance | Compiled to native code; performance can be high but may be affected by laziness and garbage collection. | Compiles to Erlang or JavaScript; inherits the concurrency and reliability of the BEAM, but not as fast as native code. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem with many libraries and frameworks, especially for academic, research, and some web applications. | Smaller but growing ecosystem; can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries, expanding available options. |
Community and support | Large, established community with extensive documentation, tutorials, and active forums. | Smaller, newer community; friendly and active, but with fewer resources and less mature support. |
Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to advanced type system, lazy evaluation, and unique syntax. | Gentler learning curve, designed to be beginner-friendly and easy to pick up for those new to functional programming. |
