- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elixir to Elm using this converter. Note that you may not always get the same code since it is generated by an AI language model which is not 100% deterministic and gets updated from time to time.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between Elixir and Elm
Characteristic | Elixir | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elixir has a Ruby-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability. | Elm has a syntax inspired by Haskell and ML languages, with a strong emphasis on immutability and functional programming. |
Paradigm | Elixir is a functional programming language that also supports concurrent and distributed programming. | Elm is a purely functional programming language that focuses on building web applications with a strong emphasis on simplicity and reliability. |
Typing | Elixir is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. | Elm is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time, providing more safety and preventing runtime errors. |
Performance | Elixir is known for its high performance and scalability, thanks to its underlying Erlang virtual machine (BEAM). | Elm is designed to prioritize developer productivity and reliability over raw performance, but it still performs well for most web applications. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elixir has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Phoenix for web development and Ecto for database access. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem compared to Elixir, but it has its own set of libraries and frameworks for building web applications, such as Elm UI and Elm Router. |
Community and support | Elixir has a growing and active community with strong support from the Elixir core team and the wider open-source community. | Elm has a smaller but dedicated community with active support from the Elm core team and a focus on providing a friendly and helpful environment. |
Learning curve | Elixir has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Ruby or functional programming concepts. | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, thanks to its simplicity and focus on providing clear and helpful error messages. |
