This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Groovy 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 Groovy code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang to Groovy 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.

Key differences between Erlang and Groovy
Characteristic | Erlang | Groovy |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Groovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a functional programming language with support for concurrent and distributed programming. | Groovy is an object-oriented programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. | Groovy is dynamically typed, similar to Erlang. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance in concurrent and distributed systems. | Groovy's performance is comparable to Java as it runs on the JVM. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building scalable and fault-tolerant systems. | Groovy has access to the vast Java ecosystem, including libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Erlang has a small but dedicated community with good support from the language creators. | Groovy has a larger community due to its Java compatibility and good support from the community. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Groovy has a relatively low learning curve for Java developers as it shares a similar syntax. |
