How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Haskell to Elm 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 Haskell and Elm

CharacteristicHaskellElm
SyntaxHaskell has a more complex and flexible syntax compared to Elm.Elm has a simpler and more restricted syntax compared to Haskell.
ParadigmHaskell supports multiple paradigms including functional, imperative, and declarative.Elm is a purely functional programming language.
TypingHaskell has a strong static type system with type inference.Elm has a strong static type system with type inference.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and compiler optimizations.Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses more on developer productivity than raw performance.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for various domains.Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Haskell, but it has a strong focus on front-end web development.
Community and supportHaskell has an active and supportive community with many online resources and forums.Elm has a smaller but dedicated community with good support from the core team.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its advanced concepts and complex syntax.Elm has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its simplicity and focus on front-end web development.
