How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Elm to Lisp in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Elm code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Elm to Lisp 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.
Elm
Lisp
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Elm and Lisp
Characteristic | Elm | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with strong static typing and a focus on immutability. | Lisp has a unique syntax based on parentheses, with a focus on simplicity and flexibility. |
Paradigm | Elm is a functional programming language that promotes immutability and pure functions. | Lisp is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, procedural programming, and metaprogramming. |
Typing | Elm has a strong static type system that prevents many runtime errors. | Lisp has a dynamic type system that allows for flexible and expressive programming. |
Performance | Elm is designed for high-performance web applications, with a focus on minimizing runtime errors. | Lisp can be performant, but it depends on the specific implementation and optimizations used. |
Libraries and frameworks | Elm has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks for web development. | Lisp has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, with a focus on metaprogramming and AI. |
Community and support | Elm has a supportive community and active development, with regular updates and documentation. | Lisp has a dedicated community, but it is smaller compared to other languages, with less frequent updates and documentation. |
Learning curve | Elm has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming. | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts, but it can be rewarding for those who invest the time to learn it. |
