How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Erlang in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Scheme code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Erlang code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Scheme to Erlang 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.
Scheme
Erlang
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Scheme and Erlang
Characteristic | Scheme | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Scheme uses prefix notation and has a simple and minimalist syntax. | Erlang uses a Prolog-like syntax with pattern matching and has a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | Scheme is a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. | Erlang is a concurrent and functional programming language with a focus on fault-tolerance. |
Typing | Scheme is dynamically typed. | Erlang is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Scheme is generally slower than languages like C or Java. | Erlang is designed for high concurrency and fault-tolerance, but may not be as performant as low-level languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to some other languages. | Erlang has a strong ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for building distributed and fault-tolerant systems. |
Community and support | Scheme has a smaller community compared to more mainstream languages. | Erlang has an active community and strong support from Ericsson, the company behind its development. |
Learning curve | Scheme has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers new to functional programming. | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for programmers new to concurrent and fault-tolerant programming. |
