This free online converter lets you convert code from Zig to Elm in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Zig | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like, imperative, minimalistic, explicit control over memory and flow. | Haskell-like, functional, concise, uses significant whitespace and pattern matching. |
Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, low-level systems programming. | Purely functional, declarative, focused on building web frontends. |
Typing | Statically typed, no null, no hidden control flow, manual memory management. | Statically typed, type inference, no null or runtime exceptions, strong type safety. |
Performance | High performance, close to C/C++, suitable for systems programming. | Good performance for web apps, compiles to JavaScript, not suitable for low-level tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing standard library, few third-party libraries, no major frameworks. | Rich ecosystem for web development, many packages for UI, HTTP, JSON, but limited outside web. |
Community and support | Small but active and growing community, good official documentation, limited third-party resources. | Supportive and friendly community, good documentation, active forums, but smaller than mainstream languages. |
Learning curve | Moderate to steep, especially for those new to systems programming or manual memory management. | Gentle for beginners in functional programming, but concepts like immutability and the Elm architecture may be new. |
