How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Golang to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Golang 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 Golang 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
Golang
Clojure
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Golang and Clojure
Characteristic | Golang | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Golang has a C-like syntax with curly braces and semicolons. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation. |
Paradigm | Golang is a statically typed, imperative, and procedural language with support for object-oriented programming. | Clojure is a dynamically typed, functional language that emphasizes immutability and concurrency. |
Typing | Golang is statically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at compile time. | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. |
Performance | Golang is known for its high performance and efficient memory management. | Clojure's performance is generally slower than Golang due to its dynamic typing and emphasis on immutability. |
Libraries and frameworks | Golang has a growing number of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Gin and Echo for web development. | Clojure has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring and Compojure for web development. |
Community and support | Golang has a large and active community with good documentation and support. | Clojure has a smaller but dedicated community with good documentation and support. |
Learning curve | Golang has a relatively low learning curve due to its simple syntax and easy-to-understand concepts. | Clojure has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming paradigm and Lisp-like syntax. |
