How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Haskell to Scheme 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 Scheme code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Key differences between Haskell and Scheme

CharacteristicHaskellScheme
SyntaxHaskell has a more complex syntax compared to Scheme. It uses indentation to define blocks of code and has a strong static type system.Scheme has a simpler syntax compared to Haskell. It uses parentheses for function calls and has a dynamic type system.
ParadigmHaskell is a purely functional programming language that supports lazy evaluation.Scheme is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports both functional and imperative programming.
TypingHaskell has a strong static type system that enforces type safety at compile-time.Scheme has a dynamic type system that allows for more flexibility but can lead to runtime errors.
PerformanceHaskell is known for its high performance due to its lazy evaluation and advanced compiler optimizations.Scheme is generally slower than Haskell due to its dynamic typing and lack of advanced optimizations.
Libraries and frameworksHaskell has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, although it may not have as many options as more mainstream languages.Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Haskell.
Community and supportHaskell has a dedicated and active community with strong support from the Haskell community and various online resources.Scheme has a smaller community compared to Haskell, but still has dedicated users and resources available.
Learning curveHaskell has a steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and strong type system, but it rewards the effort with powerful abstractions and expressive code.Scheme has a relatively low learning curve due to its simple syntax and dynamic typing, making it easier for beginners to grasp.
