This free online converter lets you convert code from Python to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Python | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Readable, indentation-based, dynamically structured, and designed for simplicity. | Statically structured, inspired by ML-family languages, uses explicit type annotations and semicolons. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm (object-oriented, procedural, functional). | Purely functional, strongly emphasizes immutability and functional programming. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed (type hints optional, not enforced at runtime). | Statically and strongly typed with type inference and enforced at compile time. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally slower due to dynamic typing and runtime checks. | Compiled to Erlang or JavaScript, benefits from BEAM VM performance and static optimizations. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Extensive standard library and third-party ecosystem for web, data science, automation, etc. | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, mature, global community with abundant resources and support. | Small but growing community, less mature, more niche support. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, beginner-friendly, widely taught as a first language. | Steeper learning curve due to functional paradigm and static typing, less beginner-oriented. |
