How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Kotlin to Ada in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Kotlin code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Ada code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Kotlin to Ada 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.
Kotlin
Ada
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Kotlin and Ada
Characteristic | Kotlin | Ada |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Kotlin has a modern and concise syntax that is similar to Java but with added features like null safety and extension functions. | Ada has a more verbose syntax compared to Kotlin and is known for its strong typing and readability. |
Paradigm | Kotlin is a statically-typed programming language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms. | Ada is a statically-typed programming language that primarily follows the imperative and procedural programming paradigms. |
Typing | Kotlin has a strong static type system with type inference, allowing for safer and more concise code. | Ada has a strong static type system with explicit type declarations, ensuring type safety and preventing errors. |
Performance | Kotlin is known for its good performance and can be compiled to efficient bytecode that runs on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). | Ada is designed for high-performance applications and can generate efficient machine code, making it suitable for resource-constrained systems. |
Libraries and frameworks | Kotlin has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Spring Boot and Android Jetpack. | Ada has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Kotlin, but it has strong support for safety-critical and embedded systems. |
Community and support | Kotlin has a large and active community with good support from JetBrains, the company behind Kotlin, as well as from the Android development community. | Ada has a smaller community compared to Kotlin, but it has dedicated support from AdaCore and a strong presence in industries that require high reliability and safety. |
Learning curve | Kotlin has a relatively low learning curve, especially for developers familiar with Java, as it can interoperate with existing Java code. | Ada has a steeper learning curve compared to Kotlin, especially for developers who are new to statically-typed languages or the Ada programming paradigm. |
