This free online converter lets you convert code from Vala to Haskell in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Vala code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Haskell code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Vala to Haskell 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 Vala and Haskell
Characteristic | Vala | Haskell |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Vala has a syntax similar to C# and is designed to be readable and familiar to C/C++ developers. | Haskell has a unique syntax that is based on mathematical notation and is known for its strong type system and functional programming features. |
Paradigm | Vala is primarily an object-oriented programming language with support for imperative and procedural programming. | Haskell is a purely functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and declarative programming. |
Typing | Vala has static typing with type inference, allowing developers to write type-safe code. | Haskell has strong static typing with type inference, ensuring type safety and preventing runtime errors. |
Performance | Vala is compiled to C code, which provides good performance and low-level control. | Haskell is known for its high-level abstractions and lazy evaluation, which can sometimes impact performance compared to lower-level languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | Vala has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, but it may not have as extensive a collection as more popular languages. | Haskell has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for functional programming, but it may have fewer options compared to more mainstream languages. |
Community and support | Vala has a smaller community compared to more popular languages, but it has dedicated developers and active forums for support. | Haskell has a passionate community of functional programming enthusiasts and strong support through online forums, mailing lists, and conferences. |
Learning curve | Vala has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with C# or C/C++. | Haskell has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and strong emphasis on functional programming concepts. |
