This free online converter lets you convert code from Zig to Erlang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
Characteristic | Zig | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | C-like, minimalistic, explicit, and designed for clarity and safety. | Functional, declarative, uses pattern matching and recursion, syntax is unique and inspired by Prolog. |
Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming. | Functional, concurrent, and designed for distributed and fault-tolerant systems. |
Typing | Statically typed, no garbage collector, manual memory management. | Dynamically typed, automatic memory management with garbage collection. |
Performance | High performance, close to C/C++, suitable for systems programming. | Good for concurrent workloads, but generally slower for raw computation compared to low-level languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Growing ecosystem, fewer libraries and frameworks compared to mature languages. | Rich set of libraries for concurrency, networking, and distributed systems, especially with OTP framework. |
Community and support | Smaller, but active and growing community; limited commercial support. | Established community, strong support in telecom and distributed systems, good documentation. |
Learning curve | Moderate, especially for those familiar with C-like languages; manual memory management can be challenging. | Steep, due to unique syntax and functional paradigm; easier for those with functional programming background. |
