How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Ada to Lua in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Ada 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 Ada 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.
Ada
Lua
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Ada and Lua
Characteristic | Ada | Lua |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Ada has a syntax that is similar to Pascal and is known for its strong typing and readability. | Lua has a simple and flexible syntax that is easy to learn and use. |
Paradigm | Ada supports multiple paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and concurrent programming. | Lua is primarily a procedural language but also supports some object-oriented features. |
Typing | Ada has strong static typing, which means that variable types are checked at compile-time. | Lua has dynamic typing, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | Ada is known for its high performance and efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained systems. | Lua is designed for simplicity and ease of use, sacrificing some performance for flexibility. |
Libraries and frameworks | Ada has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, particularly for safety-critical and embedded systems. | Lua has a smaller but growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with a focus on game development and scripting. |
Community and support | Ada has a smaller but dedicated community with strong support from organizations such as AdaCore. | Lua has a large and active community with support from the Lua community and various online resources. |
Learning curve | Ada has a steeper learning curve due to its strong typing and complex syntax, but it offers powerful features for software development. | Lua has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy for beginners to get started with programming. |
