This free online converter lets you convert code from Ruby to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Ruby | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Expressive, human-friendly, inspired by Perl and Smalltalk, uses end keywords for blocks. | Concise, statically checked, inspired by Elm and Rust, uses indentation and type annotations. |
| Paradigm | Primarily object-oriented, supports functional and imperative styles. | Purely functional, emphasizes immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, types are checked at runtime. | Statically typed, types are checked at compile time with strong type inference. |
| Performance | Interpreted, generally slower due to dynamic typing and runtime overhead. | Compiled to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, offers better performance due to static typing and compilation. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, mature libraries and frameworks like Rails and Sinatra. | Smaller ecosystem, can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
| Community and support | Large, active, and mature community with extensive documentation and resources. | Growing but small community, less documentation and fewer resources. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, beginner-friendly syntax and resources. | Moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming and static typing. |
