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 -
- Type or paste your Haskell code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Scheme code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Key differences between Haskell and Scheme
Characteristic | Haskell | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Haskell 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. |
Paradigm | Haskell is a purely functional programming language that supports lazy evaluation. | Scheme is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports both functional and imperative programming. |
Typing | Haskell 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. |
Performance | Haskell 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 frameworks | Haskell 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 support | Haskell 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 curve | Haskell 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. |
