How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Fsharp in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Erlang code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Fsharp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang to Fsharp 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 Erlang and Fsharp
Characteristic | Erlang | Fsharp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog. It uses pattern matching and functional programming concepts. | F# has a syntax similar to other ML-style languages like OCaml. It supports functional programming and object-oriented programming. |
Paradigm | Erlang is primarily a functional programming language but also supports concurrent and distributed programming. | F# is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, object-oriented programming, and imperative programming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. | F# is statically typed, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its excellent support for concurrency and fault-tolerance, making it suitable for building highly scalable and reliable systems. | F# is a high-performance language that can leverage the power of the .NET runtime and libraries. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building concurrent and distributed systems, such as OTP (Open Telecom Platform). | F# has access to the vast ecosystem of .NET libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like ASP.NET and Xamarin. |
Community and support | Erlang has a strong and active community with dedicated support from Ericsson, the company behind Erlang. | F# has a growing community with support from Microsoft and the F# Software Foundation. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a relatively steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | F# has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with other ML-style languages or .NET development. |
