How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Clojure to Groovy 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.

Key differences between Clojure and Groovy

CharacteristicClojureGroovy
SyntaxClojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and immutability.Groovy has a syntax similar to Java with additional features like closures and dynamic typing.
ParadigmClojure is a functional programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).Groovy is a dynamic language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.
TypingClojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Groovy is dynamically typed, similar to Clojure.
PerformanceClojure is known for its good performance due to its efficient immutable data structures and JVM integration.Groovy's performance is generally slower compared to Clojure due to its dynamic nature and additional features.
Libraries and frameworksClojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with good integration with Java libraries.Groovy has a wide range of libraries and frameworks, with seamless integration with Java libraries.
Community and supportClojure has an active and supportive community, with regular updates and contributions.Groovy also has an active community with good support, but it may not be as large as Clojure's community.
Learning curveClojure has a steep learning curve for beginners due to its functional programming concepts and Lisp syntax.Groovy has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java.
