How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Erlang to Lisp 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 Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Erlang 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.

Key differences between Erlang and Lisp
Characteristic | Erlang | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Erlang has a syntax that is similar to Prolog and uses pattern matching extensively. | Lisp has a unique syntax based on S-expressions, which are lists of symbols and expressions. |
Paradigm | Erlang is a concurrent, functional programming language. | Lisp is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, procedural programming, and metaprogramming. |
Typing | Erlang is dynamically typed. | Lisp is dynamically typed. |
Performance | Erlang is known for its high performance in concurrent and distributed systems. | Lisp can be performant, but it depends on the specific implementation and usage. |
Libraries and frameworks | Erlang has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to some other languages. | Lisp has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including Common Lisp libraries and Scheme libraries. |
Community and support | Erlang has a smaller community compared to some other languages, but it has dedicated support from the Erlang/OTP team. | Lisp has an active community with various online forums and resources available. |
Learning curve | Erlang has a moderate learning curve, especially for developers who are new to functional programming. | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts like macros. |
