How to use this tool?

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

  1. Type or paste your Kotlin 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.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Kotlin 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 Kotlin and Clojure

CharacteristicKotlinClojure
SyntaxKotlin has a syntax similar to Java, making it easy for Java developers to learn. It also has some modern features like null safety and extension functions.Clojure has a Lisp-like syntax, which can be challenging for developers who are not familiar with Lisp.
ParadigmKotlin is a multi-paradigm language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming.Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and encourages a programming style that avoids side effects.
TypingKotlin is a statically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is known at compile time.Clojure is a dynamically typed language, which means that the type of a variable is determined at runtime.
PerformanceKotlin is a compiled language that can be as fast as Java. It also has good support for coroutines, which can improve performance in certain scenarios.Clojure is an interpreted language that can be slower than compiled languages like Kotlin. However, it has good support for concurrency and can take advantage of multiple cores.
Libraries and frameworksKotlin has good interoperability with Java, which means that it can use any Java library or framework. It also has its own set of libraries and frameworks, such as Ktor and Spring Boot.Clojure has access to the vast ecosystem of Java libraries and frameworks. It also has its own set of libraries and frameworks, such as Ring and Compojure.
Community and supportKotlin has a growing community and is backed by JetBrains, a company that provides development tools for software developers.Clojure has a smaller community than Kotlin, but it has a dedicated following of developers who appreciate its functional programming features.
Learning curveKotlin has a relatively low learning curve for Java developers, as it has a similar syntax and can use Java libraries and frameworks.Clojure has a steeper learning curve than Kotlin, especially for developers who are not familiar with functional programming or Lisp-like syntax.
