How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Rust to Erlang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Rust code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Erlang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Rust to Erlang using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.

Example 1 - Is String Palindrome

Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Rust and Erlang

CharacteristicRustErlang
SyntaxRust has a syntax similar to C++ and is known for its focus on memory safety and concurrency.Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and is designed for building fault-tolerant and scalable systems.
ParadigmRust is a multi-paradigm language that supports imperative, functional, and object-oriented programming.Erlang is a concurrent and functional programming language that is designed for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems.
TypingRust has a strong static type system that enforces memory safety and prevents data races.Erlang has a dynamic type system that allows for flexible and dynamic programming.
PerformanceRust is known for its high performance and low-level control over system resources.Erlang is optimized for concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may not have the same level of performance as Rust in certain scenarios.
Libraries and frameworksRust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as more established languages.Erlang has a mature ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and frameworks for building distributed systems.
Community and supportRust has a passionate and active community with strong support from the Rust programming language team.Erlang has a dedicated community with support from the Erlang/OTP team and a long history of industrial use.
Learning curveRust has a steep learning curve due to its focus on memory safety and concurrency, but it provides powerful abstractions once mastered.Erlang has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming.
