This free online converter lets you convert code from VBA to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | VBA | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Similar to classic BASIC; verbose, imperative, and easy to read for beginners. | Modern, concise, inspired by ML-family languages; uses significant whitespace and pattern matching. |
| Paradigm | Primarily imperative and event-driven; supports some object-oriented features. | Purely functional; emphasizes immutability and strong functional programming concepts. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed by default, with optional static typing using 'Dim As' declarations. | Statically and strongly typed with type inference; no runtime type errors. |
| Performance | Interpreted; suitable for automating Office tasks but not optimized for high performance. | Compiles to efficient BEAM bytecode (Erlang VM); suitable for scalable, concurrent applications. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich integration with Microsoft Office applications; limited external libraries. | Growing ecosystem; can use Erlang/Elixir libraries, but fewer native libraries compared to mature languages. |
| Community and support | Large, established community due to long history in business environments. | Small but active and growing community; less support and resources compared to mainstream languages. |
| Learning curve | Gentle learning curve, especially for those familiar with Office; approachable for beginners. | Steeper learning curve due to functional paradigm and modern type system. |
