This free online converter lets you convert code from Wren to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Wren | Gleam |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like, concise, and familiar to users of JavaScript or C-family languages. | Inspired by ML-family languages, with a clean, indentation-insensitive syntax similar to Elm or OCaml. |
Paradigm | Object-oriented with some scripting features. | Functional, emphasizing immutability and pattern matching. |
Typing | Dynamically typed. | Statically typed with strong type inference. |
Performance | Interpreted, generally fast for a scripting language but not as fast as compiled languages. | Compiled to Erlang BEAM or JavaScript, offering good performance for concurrent and functional workloads. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited standard library, few third-party libraries due to its young ecosystem. | Can use Erlang and Elixir libraries via BEAM, but native Gleam libraries are still growing. |
Community and support | Small but active community, limited resources and support. | Growing community, benefits from Erlang/Elixir ecosystem, more resources emerging. |
Learning curve | Gentle for those familiar with C-like languages; simple and approachable. | Steeper for those new to functional programming, but approachable for those with ML or Elm experience. |
