This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Grain in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Haskell | Grain |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Uses a concise, indentation-sensitive syntax with significant whitespace and mathematical notation. | Has a clean, modern syntax inspired by ML-family languages, designed to be approachable and readable. |
Paradigm | Purely functional programming with strong emphasis on immutability and functions as first-class citizens. | Functional-first, but allows some imperative constructs; designed for WebAssembly with a focus on functional programming. |
Typing | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and advanced type system features like type classes and higher-kinded types. | Statically typed with type inference, but with a simpler type system compared to Haskell. |
Performance | Compiled to native code, generally good performance but can be unpredictable due to lazy evaluation. | Compiles to WebAssembly, optimized for fast startup and execution in web environments. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem with many libraries and frameworks for various domains, especially backend and academic use. | Smaller and newer ecosystem, focused on WebAssembly and web-related libraries. |
Community and support | Large, established community with extensive documentation, tutorials, and active forums. | Small but growing community, limited resources and support compared to Haskell. |
Learning curve | Steep learning curve due to advanced concepts and unique syntax. | Gentler learning curve, designed to be accessible to newcomers, especially those interested in WebAssembly. |
