How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Rust in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Erlang code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Rust code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang to Rust 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 Rust

CharacteristicErlangRust
SyntaxErlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively.Rust has a syntax that is similar to C++ and is designed to be safe, concurrent, and fast.
ParadigmErlang is a functional programming language that supports concurrent and distributed programming.Rust is a multi-paradigm language that combines functional and imperative programming with strong memory safety guarantees.
TypingErlang is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime.Rust is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile-time.
PerformanceErlang is known for its excellent support for concurrency and fault-tolerance, making it suitable for building highly scalable and reliable systems.Rust is designed for performance, with a focus on memory safety and low-level control.
Libraries and frameworksErlang has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems, such as OTP (Open Telecom Platform).Rust has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on systems programming and web development.
Community and supportErlang has an active and supportive community, with resources and forums available for developers.Rust has a growing community with active forums, documentation, and support from the Rust team.
Learning curveErlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming.Rust has a steep learning curve, especially for developers who are new to systems programming and memory management.
