This free online converter lets you convert code from Julia to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Julia | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Mathematical, similar to MATLAB and Python, concise and expressive for scientific computing. | Inspired by ML-family languages, statically typed, clean and minimal, indentation-insensitive. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: primarily imperative, functional, and object-oriented; strong focus on scientific and numerical computing. | Functional programming, immutable data, strong emphasis on pure functions and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed with optional type annotations; type inference for performance. | Statically and strongly typed with type inference; no runtime type errors. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C/Fortran for numerical tasks due to JIT compilation. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript; performance suitable for concurrent, fault-tolerant systems, not optimized for numerical computing. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem for scientific computing, data science, and machine learning; growing general-purpose libraries. | Smaller ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries for BEAM; fewer libraries for general-purpose or scientific tasks. |
| Community and support | Active and growing community, especially in academia and scientific research; good documentation and forums. | Small but enthusiastic community; growing interest in functional programming and BEAM ecosystem. |
| Learning curve | Gentle for users familiar with MATLAB, Python, or R; some complexity in advanced features. | Steeper for those new to functional programming; simple syntax but requires understanding of immutability and type systems. |
