How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to Scheme in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Racket code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Scheme code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Racket to Scheme 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 Racket and Scheme
Characteristic | Racket | Scheme |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a more expressive and flexible syntax compared to Scheme. It supports both prefix and infix notations, and allows for custom syntax extensions. | Scheme has a simpler and more minimalistic syntax compared to Racket. It primarily uses prefix notation and has a smaller set of built-in syntax forms. |
Paradigm | Racket is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming. | Scheme is a minimalist dialect of Lisp that primarily focuses on functional programming. |
Typing | Racket is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are checked at runtime. | Scheme is also a dynamically typed language. |
Performance | Racket provides a powerful optimizing compiler that can generate highly efficient code. It also has support for just-in-time (JIT) compilation. | Scheme implementations vary in terms of performance, but they generally prioritize simplicity and ease of implementation over performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Racket has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including a standard library that provides a wide range of functionality. | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Racket, but it still has a number of useful libraries available. |
Community and support | Racket has an active and supportive community with regular updates and documentation. It also has a dedicated organization, RacketCon, and mailing lists for support. | Scheme has a smaller but dedicated community with active mailing lists and online forums for support. |
Learning curve | Racket has a moderate learning curve. It provides extensive documentation and tutorials, making it easier for beginners to get started. | Scheme has a relatively low learning curve due to its simplicity and minimalistic design. It is often recommended as a good language for learning programming concepts. |
