This free online converter lets you convert code from Matlab to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Matlab | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Uses a matrix-based, high-level language with syntax similar to traditional mathematical notation; designed for ease of use in numerical computing. | Has a statically typed, functional syntax inspired by ML-family languages; emphasizes immutability and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural and array-oriented, with some support for object-oriented programming. | Purely functional programming paradigm, focusing on immutability and strong type safety. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed; types are determined at runtime. | Statically typed with strong type inference; types are checked at compile time. |
| Performance | Optimized for numerical and matrix computations; can be slower for general-purpose tasks but fast for its domain. | Compiles to Erlang or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the BEAM VM or JS engines, generally good for concurrent applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive built-in libraries for mathematics, engineering, and scientific computing; many toolboxes for specialized domains. | Limited libraries compared to mature languages; growing ecosystem, especially for web and concurrent applications. |
| Community and support | Large, established community with extensive documentation, forums, and commercial support. | Small but active and growing open-source community; limited resources compared to Matlab. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve for users with mathematical or engineering backgrounds; user-friendly for beginners. | Steeper learning curve due to functional paradigm and static typing, especially for those new to functional programming. |
