This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Erlang code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Clojure code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang to Clojure 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.

Key differences between Erlang and Clojure
Characteristic | Erlang | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a unique syntax that is based on Prolog. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Clojure is a functional programming language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Clojure is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance in concurrent and distributed systems. | Clojure's performance is comparable to Java due to its JVM integration. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a rich set of libraries and frameworks for building scalable and fault-tolerant systems. | Clojure has access to the vast Java ecosystem, including libraries and frameworks. |
Community and support | Erlang has a smaller but dedicated community with strong support from Ericsson. | Clojure has an active and growing community with good support from the Clojure core team. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a steeper learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Lisp-like languages. |
