This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Scheme | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Minimalist, parenthesis-heavy Lisp-style syntax with prefix notation. | Clean, modern, indentation-based syntax inspired by ML-family languages. |
| Paradigm | Multi-paradigm, primarily functional with support for imperative and meta-programming. | Strictly functional, emphasizing immutability and purity. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional type systems in some implementations. | Statically typed with strong, inferred types and no runtime type errors. |
| Performance | Performance varies by implementation; often interpreted but some compilers exist. | Compiles to Erlang BEAM bytecode, offering good performance for concurrent applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited ecosystem; some libraries exist but not as extensive as mainstream languages. | Growing ecosystem; can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via interoperability. |
| Community and support | Long-standing academic and niche community, but relatively small. | Young but active community, especially among BEAM and functional programming enthusiasts. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners due to Lisp syntax and functional concepts. | Gentle for those familiar with typed functional languages; approachable syntax. |
