This free online converter lets you convert code from Rust to Perl 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 Perl code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Rust to Perl 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.

Key differences between Rust and Perl

CharacteristicRustPerl
SyntaxRust has a syntax that is similar to C++ and is known for its readability and expressiveness.Perl has a syntax that is known for its flexibility and expressiveness, but can be difficult to read and maintain.
ParadigmRust is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming.Perl is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming.
TypingRust is a statically typed language that uses type inference to reduce the need for explicit type annotations.Perl is a dynamically typed language that does not require explicit type annotations.
PerformanceRust is known for its high performance and low-level control, making it a popular choice for systems programming and performance-critical applications.Perl is not known for its performance and is generally used for scripting and text processing.
Libraries and frameworksRust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it is not as mature as some other languages.Perl has a large and mature ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for text processing and system administration.
Community and supportRust has a growing and enthusiastic community, with strong support from Mozilla and other organizations.Perl has a large and dedicated community, but it is not growing as quickly as some other languages.
Learning curveRust has a steep learning curve due to its low-level control and complex type system, but it is considered worth the effort by many developers.Perl has a relatively low learning curve, particularly for developers with experience in other scripting languages.
