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

Key differences between Clojure and Erlang
Characteristic | Clojure | Erlang |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with a focus on simplicity and immutability. | Erlang has a Prolog-like syntax with a focus on concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that also supports imperative and object-oriented programming. | Erlang is a concurrent and fault-tolerant programming language. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed. | Erlang is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Clojure has good performance due to its JVM integration. | Erlang has good performance in terms of concurrency and fault-tolerance. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring and Compojure. | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but it has powerful built-in libraries for building distributed systems. |
Community and support | Clojure has an active and supportive community with regular updates and contributions. | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with strong support from Ericsson, the creator of Erlang. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like languages. | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming and concurrency. |
