How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Elm in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Scheme code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Scheme to Elm 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.
Scheme
Elm
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Scheme
Elm
Key differences between Scheme and Elm
Characteristic | Scheme | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Scheme has a simple and minimalist syntax with a heavy use of parentheses. | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell with a strong emphasis on functional programming. |
Paradigm | Scheme is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, procedural programming, and object-oriented programming. | Elm is a purely functional language that enforces immutability and encourages the use of functional programming principles. |
Typing | Scheme is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Elm is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Scheme is an interpreted language, which can result in slower performance compared to compiled languages. | Elm compiles to highly optimized JavaScript code, resulting in good performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to more popular languages. | Elm has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on functional programming and web development. |
Community and support | Scheme has a smaller community compared to more mainstream languages, but there are still active communities and resources available. | Elm has a supportive and active community, with regular updates and a dedicated core team. |
Learning curve | Scheme has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Elm has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. |
