How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from R to Elm in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your R code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from R 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.

Key differences between R and Elm
Characteristic | R | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R uses a syntax that is similar to traditional programming languages, with a focus on data manipulation and statistical analysis. | Elm uses a syntax that is inspired by functional programming languages, with a strong emphasis on immutability and pure functions. |
Paradigm | R is primarily a procedural programming language, but it also supports object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Elm is a purely functional programming language, which means that it emphasizes immutability, pure functions, and avoiding side effects. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Elm is statically typed, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. |
Performance | R is not known for its performance, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex computations. | Elm is designed to be highly performant, with a focus on efficient rendering and minimal memory usage. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available for data analysis, statistics, and machine learning. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to R, but it has a strong focus on functional programming and web development. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community, with many online resources, forums, and packages available. | Elm has a smaller community compared to R, but it is known for its friendly and helpful community. |
Learning curve | R has a moderate learning curve, especially for beginners with no programming experience. | Elm has a steep learning curve, especially for developers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts. |
