How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Golang to Elixir in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Golang code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elixir code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Golang to Elixir 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 Golang and Elixir
Characteristic | Golang | Elixir |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Golang has a C-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and readability. | Elixir has a Ruby-like syntax with a focus on expressiveness and productivity. |
Paradigm | Golang is primarily imperative and procedural, with support for concurrent programming. | Elixir is a functional programming language built on top of the Erlang virtual machine, emphasizing concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Typing | Golang has static typing with type inference. | Elixir has dynamic typing with strong type inference. |
Performance | Golang is known for its high-performance and efficient execution. | Elixir is not as performant as Golang due to its higher-level abstractions and runtime overhead. |
Libraries and frameworks | Golang has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as more established languages. | Elixir has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for building scalable and fault-tolerant systems. |
Community and support | Golang has a large and active community with good support from the language maintainers. | Elixir has a smaller but passionate community with strong support from the language maintainers. |
Learning curve | Golang has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C-like languages. | Elixir has a steeper learning curve, particularly for developers new to functional programming and the Erlang ecosystem. |
