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

Key differences between PHP and Clojure
Characteristic | PHP | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | PHP syntax is similar to C and Perl. It is easy to learn and write. | Clojure syntax is based on Lisp. It has a unique syntax that can take some time to learn. |
Paradigm | PHP is primarily an imperative language with support for object-oriented programming. | Clojure is a functional programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. |
Typing | PHP is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | PHP is generally slower than other languages due to its interpreted nature. | Clojure is generally faster than other dynamic languages due to its use of the Java Virtual Machine. |
Libraries and frameworks | PHP has a large number of libraries and frameworks available, including Laravel, Symfony, and CodeIgniter. | Clojure has a smaller number of libraries and frameworks available, but they are generally high-quality and well-maintained, such as Compojure and Ring. |
Community and support | PHP has a large and active community with many resources available for learning and support. | Clojure has a smaller but dedicated community with many resources available for learning and support. |
Learning curve | PHP has a relatively low learning curve and is easy to get started with. | Clojure has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm. |
