This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Elm in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Clojure code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Clojure to Elm 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 Clojure and Elm
Characteristic | Clojure | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and immutability. | Elm has a syntax inspired by Haskell and is designed to be easy to read and write. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. | Elm is a purely functional programming language. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed. | Elm is statically typed. |
Performance | Clojure has good performance due to its efficient data structures and the ability to leverage Java libraries. | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance optimizations for that domain. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring and Compojure. | Elm has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but it has a strong focus on simplicity and reliability. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community with many resources available online. | Elm also has an active community, but it is smaller compared to Clojure. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers new to Lisp-like syntax. | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts. |
