How to use this tool?

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

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

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Tcl 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.

Key differences between Tcl and Scheme

CharacteristicTclScheme
SyntaxTcl has a simple and flexible syntax with commands and arguments separated by spaces.Scheme has a minimalist syntax with a prefix notation and parentheses for grouping expressions.
ParadigmTcl is primarily a procedural language but also supports object-oriented programming.Scheme is a functional programming language that supports procedural and object-oriented programming.
TypingTcl is dynamically typed, meaning variable types are determined at runtime.Scheme is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming.
PerformanceTcl is known for its fast startup time and efficient execution of scripts.Scheme is generally slower than Tcl due to its focus on expressiveness and flexibility.
Libraries and frameworksTcl has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Scheme.Scheme has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, making it easier to find existing solutions.
Community and supportTcl has a smaller community and less active support compared to Scheme.Scheme has a larger community and more active support from developers and enthusiasts.
Learning curveTcl has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy for beginners to get started.Scheme has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming concepts and syntax.
