How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Scheme to Lua 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 Lua code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Scheme to Lua 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
Lua
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Scheme and Lua
Characteristic | Scheme | Lua |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Scheme uses prefix notation and has a simple and uniform syntax. | Lua uses infix notation and has a flexible and lightweight syntax. |
Paradigm | Scheme is a functional programming language with support for imperative and object-oriented programming. | Lua is a procedural programming language with support for functional programming. |
Typing | Scheme is dynamically typed. | Lua is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Scheme is generally slower than Lua due to its focus on expressiveness and abstraction. | Lua is generally faster than Scheme due to its simplicity and efficiency. |
Libraries and frameworks | Scheme has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lua. | Lua has a larger ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Scheme. |
Community and support | Scheme has a smaller community and less support compared to Lua. | Lua has a larger community and more support compared to Scheme. |
Learning curve | Scheme has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax. | Lua has a relatively easier learning curve due to its simplicity and straightforward syntax. |
