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

Key differences between Scheme and Lisp
Characteristic | Scheme | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Scheme has a simpler syntax compared to Lisp, with a focus on minimalism and expressiveness. | Lisp has a more complex syntax compared to Scheme, with a focus on parentheses and prefix notation. |
Paradigm | Scheme is a dialect of Lisp that follows a functional programming paradigm. | Lisp is a family of programming languages that supports multiple paradigms, including functional programming and procedural programming. |
Typing | Scheme is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. | Lisp can be dynamically typed or statically typed, depending on the specific dialect. |
Performance | Scheme is generally considered to have good performance, especially for certain types of applications. | Lisp's performance can vary depending on the specific dialect and implementation. |
Libraries and frameworks | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lisp. | Lisp has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Scheme, with many options available for different purposes. |
Community and support | Scheme has a smaller community compared to Lisp, but still has active users and resources available. | Lisp has a larger and more active community compared to Scheme, with extensive resources and support available. |
Learning curve | Scheme has a relatively steep learning curve, especially for beginners due to its minimalistic syntax and functional programming paradigm. | Lisp has a moderate learning curve, with some complexity in syntax but also a wide range of learning resources available. |
