How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from JavaScript to Lisp 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 Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from JavaScript 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.
Example 1 - Is String Palindrome
Program that checks if a string is a palindrome or not.
JavaScript
Lisp
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between JavaScript and Lisp
Characteristic | JavaScript | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | JavaScript has a C-style syntax with curly braces, while Lisp has a unique syntax based on S-expressions. | Lisp has a unique syntax based on S-expressions, which can be difficult for beginners to understand. |
Paradigm | JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports object-oriented, functional, and imperative programming paradigms. | Lisp is a functional programming language that supports the functional programming paradigm. |
Typing | JavaScript is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. | Lisp is dynamically typed, but some implementations support optional static typing. |
Performance | JavaScript is generally slower than compiled languages like Lisp, but it has improved significantly with the introduction of JIT compilers. | Lisp is generally faster than interpreted languages like JavaScript, but it can be slower than compiled languages. |
Libraries and frameworks | JavaScript has a vast ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including React, Angular, and Node.js. | Lisp has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to JavaScript, but it has some powerful tools like Emacs and Common Lisp Object System (CLOS). |
Community and support | JavaScript has a large and active community with many resources and support available. | Lisp has a smaller community compared to JavaScript, but it has a dedicated following and many resources available. |
Learning curve | JavaScript has a relatively low learning curve, especially for those with experience in other C-style languages. | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm. |
