How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from JavaScript to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your JavaScript 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 JavaScript 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.
JavaScript
Clojure
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between JavaScript and Clojure
Characteristic | JavaScript | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | JavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, semicolons, and parentheses. It also supports functional programming constructs such as anonymous functions and closures. | Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax with parentheses and prefix notation. It also supports functional programming constructs such as anonymous functions and closures. |
Paradigm | JavaScript supports multiple paradigms including object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming. | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and persistent data structures. |
Typing | JavaScript is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Clojure is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | JavaScript is generally slower than compiled languages like Java, but it has improved significantly with the introduction of just-in-time (JIT) compilers. | Clojure is a compiled language that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), which can provide good performance. |
Libraries and frameworks | JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like React, Angular, and Vue. | Clojure has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has some popular ones like Compojure and Ring. |
Community and support | JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources and support available. | Clojure has a smaller but dedicated community with good resources and support available. |
Learning curve | JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with prior programming experience. | Clojure has a steeper learning curve due to its functional programming paradigm and Lisp-like syntax. |
