This free online converter lets you convert code from Kotlin to Zig in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Kotlin | Zig |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Modern, concise, and expressive syntax similar to Java and influenced by Scala; designed for readability and reduced boilerplate. | Minimalist and explicit syntax; focuses on clarity and directness, with less syntactic sugar and more manual control. |
Paradigm | Multi-paradigm: supports object-oriented, functional, and procedural programming. | Procedural and systems programming; does not support object-oriented or functional paradigms natively. |
Typing | Statically typed with type inference; supports null safety and generics. | Statically typed with strong, explicit typing; no type inference for variables, but supports compile-time code execution. |
Performance | Runs on the JVM (or compiles to JavaScript/Native); performance is generally good but depends on the target platform. | Designed for high performance and low-level control; compiles directly to machine code with minimal runtime overhead. |
Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, especially for JVM and Android development; access to Java libraries and many frameworks. | Smaller ecosystem; fewer libraries and frameworks, mostly focused on systems programming and interoperability with C. |
Community and support | Large and active community, strong support from JetBrains and Google (for Android); extensive documentation and resources. | Growing but smaller community; active development but less mature support and fewer learning resources. |
Learning curve | Relatively easy for those familiar with Java or modern programming languages; beginner-friendly documentation. | Steeper learning curve due to low-level concepts and manual memory management; less beginner-oriented material. |
