How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Elm to Erlang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Elm code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Erlang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elm to Erlang 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 Elm and Erlang
Characteristic | Elm | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell and is known for its simplicity and readability. | Erlang has a syntax similar to Prolog and is known for its pattern matching and concurrency features. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that focuses on immutability and pure functions. | Erlang is a concurrent and fault-tolerant programming language that supports functional and declarative programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | Erlang has a dynamic type system that allows for flexibility but can lead to runtime errors. |
Performance | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance optimizations. | Erlang is designed for building highly scalable and fault-tolerant systems, but may not be as performant for certain use cases. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a smaller ecosystem compared to Erlang, but it has a strong focus on quality and reliability. | Erlang has a mature ecosystem with a wide range of libraries and frameworks for building distributed systems. |
Community and support | Elm has a growing community and provides good documentation and support. | Erlang has a strong community and is backed by Ericsson, providing good support and resources. |
Learning curve | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers new to functional and concurrent programming. |
