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

Key differences between Clojure and CoffeeScript
Characteristic | Clojure | CoffeeScript |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure uses Lisp syntax, which is based on parentheses and prefix notation. | CoffeeScript uses a syntax similar to JavaScript, but with a more concise and expressive syntax. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms. | CoffeeScript is a programming language that compiles to JavaScript and follows a more functional programming style. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | CoffeeScript is also dynamically typed, similar to JavaScript. |
Performance | Clojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient data structures and the ability to leverage the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). | CoffeeScript's performance is dependent on the generated JavaScript code, which can vary depending on the implementation. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring, Compojure, and Datomic. | CoffeeScript leverages the existing JavaScript ecosystem and can use any JavaScript library or framework. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community with various online resources, meetups, and conferences. | CoffeeScript has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but still has active contributors and resources available. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a steep learning curve for beginners due to its Lisp syntax and functional programming concepts. | CoffeeScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers already familiar with JavaScript. |
