How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from JavaScript to Golang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your JavaScript code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Golang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from JavaScript to Golang 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.
JavaScript

Key differences between JavaScript and Golang
Characteristic | JavaScript | Golang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | JavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and parentheses. It also supports functional programming constructs like anonymous functions and closures. | Golang has a C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and parentheses. It also has a simpler syntax with fewer keywords and constructs. |
Paradigm | JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming styles. | Golang is a statically-typed language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and functional programming styles. |
Typing | JavaScript is a dynamically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Golang is a statically-typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile-time. |
Performance | JavaScript is an interpreted language, which can lead to slower performance compared to compiled languages. However, modern JavaScript engines have made significant improvements in performance. | Golang is a compiled language, which can lead to faster performance compared to interpreted languages. It also has built-in concurrency features that can improve performance in certain scenarios. |
Libraries and frameworks | JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like React, Angular, and Vue for front-end development, and Node.js for back-end development. | Golang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has some popular ones like Gin and Echo for web development, and gRPC for building microservices. |
Community and support | JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources and support available online. | Golang has a growing community with fewer resources and support available compared to JavaScript. |
Learning curve | JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with prior programming experience. However, its dynamic typing and asynchronous programming can be challenging for beginners. | Golang has a steeper learning curve compared to JavaScript, especially for those without prior programming experience. Its static typing and concurrency features can also be challenging for beginners. |
