- Type or paste your Clojure code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Key differences between Clojure and Lisp
Characteristic | Clojure | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Clojure has a simpler syntax than Lisp, with a focus on parentheses and a more functional style. | Lisp has a more complex syntax than Clojure, with a focus on parentheses and a more flexible style. |
Paradigm | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and concurrency. | Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime. | Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Clojure is known for its good performance, especially in terms of concurrency and parallelism. | Lisp can be fast, but its performance depends heavily on the implementation and the specific use case. |
Libraries and frameworks | Clojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring, Compojure, and Pedestal. | Lisp has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Clojure, but still has some notable ones like Common Lisp's ASDF and Quicklisp. |
Community and support | Clojure has a strong and active community, with many resources and support available online. | Lisp has a smaller but dedicated community, with many resources and support available online. |
Learning curve | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax. | Lisp has a steep learning curve, especially for those new to functional programming or Lisp-like syntax. |
