How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Lua in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Haskell code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Lua code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Haskell to Lua 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.
Haskell
Lua
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Haskell and Lua
Characteristic | Haskell | Lua |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell has a strong static type system and uses indentation-based syntax. | Lua has a simple and flexible syntax with dynamic typing. |
Paradigm | Haskell is a purely functional programming language. | Lua is a multi-paradigm language that supports procedural, functional, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Haskell has a strong static type system with type inference. | Lua has dynamic typing with weak type checking. |
Performance | Haskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and compiler optimizations. | Lua is lightweight and fast, suitable for embedded systems and scripting tasks. |
Libraries and frameworks | Haskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as many options as more popular languages. | Lua has a small but powerful set of libraries and frameworks, especially for game development and embedded systems. |
Community and support | Haskell has a dedicated and active community, with good documentation and support available. | Lua has a smaller community compared to some other languages, but it is still active and has helpful resources. |
Learning curve | Haskell has a steep learning curve due to its advanced concepts and functional programming paradigm. | Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy to pick up and start coding. |
