How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Scala to Rust in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -

  1. Type or paste your Scala code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Rust code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Scala to Rust 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 Scala and Rust

CharacteristicScalaRust
SyntaxScala has a concise and expressive syntax that is similar to Java, but with more advanced features such as pattern matching and higher-order functions.Rust has a syntax that is similar to C++, but with more modern features such as pattern matching and type inference.
ParadigmScala is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming.Rust is a multi-paradigm language that supports both imperative and functional programming.
TypingScala is a statically typed language with type inference, which means that the compiler can often infer the types of variables and expressions without explicit type annotations.Rust is a statically typed language with a strong type system that prevents many common programming errors at compile time.
PerformanceScala is generally slower than Java due to its use of the JVM, but it can still be optimized for high performance.Rust is designed for high performance and can often outperform other languages due to its low-level control over memory and efficient concurrency model.
Libraries and frameworksScala has a large and growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Akka, Play, and Spark.Rust has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to other languages, but it is growing rapidly and includes popular ones like Rocket and Actix.
Community and supportScala has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support.Rust has a growing community with many resources available for learning and support, including an official book and active forums.
Learning curveScala has a steep learning curve due to its advanced features and complex syntax, but it can be easier to learn for those with a background in Java or functional programming.Rust has a steep learning curve due to its low-level control over memory and complex ownership model, but it can be easier to learn for those with a background in C++ or systems programming.
