How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Clojure to Kotlin 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 Kotlin code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Clojure to Kotlin 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 Kotlin
Characteristic | Clojure | Kotlin |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax that is very different from traditional programming languages. | Kotlin has a syntax that is similar to Java, but with some added features and improvements. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and pure functions. | Kotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming styles. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, which means that types are checked at runtime. | Kotlin is statically typed, which means that types are checked at compile time. |
Performance | Clojure is generally slower than Java due to its dynamic nature and functional programming style. | Kotlin is generally faster than Java due to its more efficient bytecode and improved type inference. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Kotlin, but it has strong support for web development and data processing. | Kotlin has a large and growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with strong support for Android development and web development. |
Community and support | Clojure has a smaller but dedicated community of developers, with good documentation and support available. | Kotlin has a large and active community of developers, with excellent documentation and support available. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming style. | Kotlin has a relatively easy learning curve for Java developers, as it has a similar syntax and is compatible with Java code. |
