How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your Racket code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Clojure code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Racket 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.

Key differences between Racket and Clojure

CharacteristicRacketClojure
SyntaxRacket has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and uses parentheses extensively.Clojure also has a Lisp-like syntax with prefix notation and uses parentheses extensively.
ParadigmRacket supports multiple paradigms including functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming.Clojure is a functional programming language that encourages immutability and embraces the concept of pure functions.
TypingRacket is a dynamically typed language.Clojure is a dynamically typed language.
PerformanceRacket is known for its focus on language design and expressiveness rather than performance.Clojure is designed to be hosted on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can leverage the performance optimizations provided by the JVM.
Libraries and frameworksRacket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks available, including a powerful macro system.Clojure has access to the vast ecosystem of Java libraries and frameworks, which provides a wide range of options for development.
Community and supportRacket has a smaller but dedicated community with active support from the developers.Clojure has a larger community with strong support from both the developers and the wider functional programming community.
Learning curveRacket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for those familiar with Lisp-like languages.Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for those familiar with Lisp-like languages.
