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

  1. Type or paste your Java code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting Clojure code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Key differences between Java and Clojure

CharacteristicJavaClojure
SyntaxJava has a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons, while Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation.Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation, while Java has a C-style syntax with curly braces and semicolons.
ParadigmJava is an object-oriented programming language with support for imperative and functional programming paradigms, while Clojure is a functional programming language that supports both functional and imperative programming paradigms.Clojure is a functional programming language that supports both functional and imperative programming paradigms, while Java is an object-oriented programming language with support for imperative and functional programming paradigms.
TypingJava is a statically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is checked at compile-time, while Clojure is a dynamically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is checked at runtime.Clojure is a dynamically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is checked at runtime, while Java is a statically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is checked at compile-time.
PerformanceJava is known for its high performance and is often used for building enterprise-level applications that require high scalability and performance.Clojure is a high-performance language that is designed to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and can take advantage of the performance optimizations provided by the JVM.
Libraries and frameworksJava has a vast collection of libraries and frameworks that are widely used in enterprise-level applications, such as Spring, Hibernate, and Struts.Clojure has access to all the Java libraries and frameworks, which makes it easy to integrate with existing Java code. It also has its own set of libraries and frameworks, such as Compojure and Ring, that are specifically designed for Clojure.
Community and supportJava has a large and active community with a wealth of resources and support available online.Clojure has a smaller community compared to Java, but it is growing rapidly and has a dedicated group of developers who are actively contributing to the language and its ecosystem.
Learning curveJava has a relatively steep learning curve due to its complex syntax and extensive libraries and frameworks.Clojure has a relatively steep learning curve for developers who are not familiar with functional programming concepts, but it has a simpler syntax compared to Java and is easier to learn for developers who are already familiar with Lisp-like languages.
