How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from R to Julia 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 Julia code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from R to Julia 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 Julia
Characteristic | R | Julia |
---|---|---|
Syntax | R has a syntax that is similar to the S programming language, with a focus on data analysis and statistical computing. | Julia has a syntax that is similar to MATLAB and Python, with a focus on scientific computing and numerical analysis. |
Paradigm | R is primarily a functional programming language, but also supports object-oriented programming. | Julia is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, object-oriented, and procedural programming. |
Typing | R is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Julia is dynamically typed, but also allows for optional static typing for performance optimization. |
Performance | R can be slow for large datasets and complex computations, but has many optimized libraries for specific tasks. | Julia is designed for high performance and can be faster than R for large datasets and complex computations. |
Libraries and frameworks | R has a large number of libraries and frameworks for data analysis, statistics, and machine learning. | Julia has a growing number of libraries and frameworks for scientific computing, machine learning, and data analysis. |
Community and support | R has a large and active community with many resources and support forums available. | Julia has a smaller but growing community with active development and support forums available. |
Learning curve | R can have a steep learning curve for beginners due to its syntax and focus on statistical computing. | Julia has a relatively low learning curve for beginners due to its familiar syntax and focus on scientific computing. |
