This free online converter lets you convert code from Tcl to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Tcl | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, command-based syntax with minimal punctuation; everything is a command and arguments are separated by spaces. | Modern, statically-typed syntax inspired by ML-family languages; uses indentation and clear structure. |
| Paradigm | Primarily procedural, with some support for object-oriented and event-driven programming. | Functional programming, with strong emphasis on immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed; variables can hold any type and types are determined at runtime. | Statically typed; types are checked at compile time, reducing runtime errors. |
| Performance | Interpreted language, generally slower than compiled languages; suitable for scripting and automation. | Compiled to Erlang bytecode, offering good performance for concurrent and distributed systems. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich set of libraries for scripting, GUI (Tk), and networking; mature ecosystem. | Growing but limited ecosystem; can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. |
| Community and support | Long-established, stable community with extensive documentation and support resources. | Small but active and growing community; newer language with increasing resources. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, especially for scripting and automation tasks. | Moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or static typing. |
