This free online converter lets you convert code from TypeScript to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | TypeScript | Gleam |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like syntax, similar to JavaScript with added type annotations. | Clean, ML-inspired syntax, similar to Elm or OCaml. |
Paradigm | Multi-paradigm; primarily object-oriented and functional. | Purely functional. |
Typing | Static, structural, optionally strict, gradual typing. | Static, strong, and strict typing with type inference. |
Performance | Runs on JavaScript engines; performance depends on JS runtime. | Compiles to Erlang or JavaScript; inherits performance characteristics of the BEAM or JS. |
Libraries and frameworks | Extensive ecosystem; can use all JavaScript libraries and frameworks. | Smaller ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native Gleam libraries. |
Community and support | Large, active community with strong support from Microsoft and open source contributors. | Small but growing community; mostly community-driven support. |
Learning curve | Gentle for JavaScript developers; steeper for those new to static typing. | Moderate; easier for those familiar with functional programming, but new concepts for others. |
