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

Key differences between Elm and Clojure
Characteristic | Elm | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with a strong focus on simplicity and readability. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax, with a focus on immutability and functional programming. |
Paradigm | Elm is a purely functional programming language. | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that helps catch errors at compile-time. | Clojure is dynamically typed, allowing for more flexibility but potentially leading to runtime errors. |
Performance | Elm is designed for high-performance web applications, with a focus on minimizing runtime errors. | Clojure is known for its good performance, especially when leveraging the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a smaller ecosystem compared to Clojure, but it has a strong focus on quality and reliability. | Clojure has a large ecosystem with access to a wide range of libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Elm has a small but dedicated community, with active support from the core team. | Clojure has a larger community with strong support from both the community and the core team. |
Learning curve | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. | Clojure has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers new to Lisp-like syntax and functional programming. |
