How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Lisp to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Lisp 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 Lisp 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.
Lisp
Clojure
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.
Lisp
Clojure
Key differences between Lisp and Clojure
Characteristic | Lisp | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Lisp has a prefix notation syntax, which can be difficult for beginners to understand. It uses a lot of parentheses and can be hard to read. | Clojure has a more modern syntax that is easier to read and write. It uses square brackets and curly braces instead of parentheses. |
Paradigm | Lisp is a functional programming language that supports imperative and object-oriented programming paradigms. | Clojure is a functional programming language that is designed to be a modern version of Lisp. It is a dialect of Lisp that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). |
Typing | Lisp is dynamically typed, which means that variables can hold values of any type. | Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that variables can hold values of any type. |
Performance | Lisp is known for its fast performance and efficient memory usage. | Clojure is designed to be fast and efficient, but it may not be as fast as Lisp in some cases. |
Libraries and frameworks | Lisp has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, but they may not be as well-documented or widely used as those in other languages. | Clojure has access to all of the Java libraries and frameworks, which makes it easy to integrate with existing Java code. It also has a growing number of Clojure-specific libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Lisp has a small but dedicated community of developers who are passionate about the language. | Clojure has a larger and more active community than Lisp, which means that there are more resources and support available for developers. |
Learning curve | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its syntax and functional programming paradigm. | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are already familiar with Lisp or functional programming. |
