This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Scala 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 Scala code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang to Scala 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 Scala
Characteristic | Erlang | Scala |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Scala has a syntax that is similar to Java and supports both object-oriented and functional programming. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent and fault-tolerant programming language that is primarily used for building distributed systems. | Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that combines object-oriented and functional programming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. | Scala is statically typed, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance in handling concurrent and distributed systems. | Scala is designed to be highly performant and can leverage the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for optimization. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems, such as OTP (Open Telecom Platform). | Scala has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including popular ones like Akka and Play Framework. |
Community and support | Erlang has a strong and active community with good support from the language creators and the open-source community. | Scala has a large and active community with good support from the language creators and the open-source community. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a relatively steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts like concurrency and fault-tolerance. | Scala has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java or other object-oriented languages. |
