This free online converter lets you convert code from Perl to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Perl | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Flexible, allows multiple ways to accomplish the same task, often considered 'write-only' due to its complexity. | Clean, concise, and influenced by ML-family languages; enforces consistency and readability. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm (procedural, object-oriented, functional). | Functional, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally slower than compiled languages but fast for scripting tasks. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, offering good performance for concurrent and scalable applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive CPAN repository with thousands of libraries and modules. | Smaller ecosystem, but can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, and established community with decades of resources. | Growing but small community, with increasing interest and support. |
| Learning curve | Steep, due to flexible syntax and multiple ways to do things. | Gentle, especially for those familiar with functional programming concepts. |
