This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Janet in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
| Characteristic | Clojure | Janet |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Lisp-like, uses parentheses extensively, homoiconic, designed for simplicity and code-as-data. | Lisp-like but with more concise syntax, supports both s-expressions and array-like syntax, more approachable for some users. |
| Paradigm | Functional-first, supports immutable data structures, also supports concurrency and some object-oriented features. | Multi-paradigm, supports functional, imperative, and metaprogramming styles, with emphasis on scripting and embedding. |
| Typing | Dynamically typed, with optional static type hints for performance. | Dynamically typed. |
| Performance | Runs on the JVM (or JavaScript/CLR), generally good performance but with JVM startup overhead. | Interpreted, lightweight, fast startup, suitable for scripting and embedding, generally faster for small scripts. |
| Libraries and frameworks | Rich ecosystem, can use Java libraries directly, many mature libraries and frameworks. | Smaller ecosystem, fewer libraries, but easy to extend with C and suitable for embedding. |
| Community and support | Large, active community, extensive documentation, commercial and open-source support. | Smaller community, growing but limited resources and support compared to Clojure. |
| Learning curve | Steep for beginners, especially due to Lisp syntax and functional concepts, but well-documented. | Gentler for those familiar with scripting languages, simpler syntax, but less documentation and resources. |
