This free online converter lets you convert code from Groovy to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Groovy 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 Groovy 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.

Key differences between Groovy and Clojure
Characteristic | Groovy | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Groovy has a syntax similar to Java, making it easy for Java developers to learn and use. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax, which may be unfamiliar to developers coming from other languages. |
Paradigm | Groovy is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. | Clojure is a functional programming language that encourages immutability and pure functions. |
Typing | Groovy is a dynamically typed language, allowing for flexible and concise code. | Clojure is a dynamically typed language, providing flexibility and expressive code. |
Performance | Groovy is generally slower than Java due to its dynamic nature. | Clojure's performance is comparable to Java, as it runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). |
Libraries and frameworks | Groovy has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, including Grails for web development. | Clojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, with popular ones like Ring and Compojure for web development. |
Community and support | Groovy has an active community and good support, with regular updates and documentation. | Clojure has a strong and supportive community, with active development and resources available. |
Learning curve | Groovy has a relatively low learning curve, especially for Java developers, as it shares similarities with Java. | Clojure has a steeper learning curve, especially for developers unfamiliar with Lisp-like syntax and functional programming concepts. |
