This free online converter lets you convert code from Zig to Gleam in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Zig | Gleam |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | C-like, imperative, minimalistic, and explicit syntax. | Inspired by ML-family languages, concise, indentation-based, and functional. |
| Paradigm | Imperative, procedural, with some support for generic programming. | Purely functional, emphasizing immutability and pattern matching. |
| Typing | Statically typed, no nulls, no hidden control flow, manual memory management. | Statically typed, strong type inference, no nulls, type-safe. |
| Performance | High performance, close to C, suitable for systems programming. | Runs on BEAM (Erlang VM), good for concurrent workloads but not as fast as native code. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Limited but growing ecosystem, can use C libraries directly. | Smaller ecosystem, can interoperate with Erlang and Elixir libraries. |
| Community and support | Active and growing community, good documentation, but still maturing. | Smaller community, friendly and welcoming, documentation improving. |
| Learning curve | Moderate for those familiar with C-like languages, manual memory management can be challenging. | Gentle for those with functional programming background, may be steeper for newcomers to functional concepts. |
