How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Lisp 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 Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

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

Lisp

Example 2 - Even or Odd

Key differences between Clojure and Lisp

CharacteristicClojureLisp
SyntaxClojure has a simpler syntax than Lisp, with a focus on parentheses and a more functional style.Lisp has a more complex syntax than Clojure, with a focus on parentheses and a more flexible style.
ParadigmClojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and concurrency.Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming.
TypingClojure is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime.Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime.
PerformanceClojure is known for its good performance, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism.Lisp can be fast, but its performance depends heavily on the implementation and the specific use case.
Libraries and frameworksClojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring, Compojure, and Pedestal.Lisp has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but still has some notable ones like Common Lisp's ASDF and Quicklisp.
Community and supportClojure has a strong and active community, with many resources and support available online.Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community, with many resources and support available online.
Learning curveClojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax.Lisp has a steep learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax.
