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

Key differences between Lisp and Ada
Characteristic | Lisp | Ada |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Lisp has a unique syntax based on parentheses and prefix notation. | Ada has a syntax similar to Pascal, with a strong emphasis on readability and maintainability. |
Paradigm | Lisp is a multi-paradigm language, supporting functional, procedural, and object-oriented programming. | Ada is primarily a procedural language, but also supports object-oriented programming. |
Typing | Lisp is dynamically typed, allowing flexible and dynamic programming. | Ada is statically typed, providing strong type checking and compile-time error detection. |
Performance | Lisp is known for its powerful macro system and runtime flexibility, but may have lower performance compared to compiled languages. | Ada is a compiled language designed for high-performance applications, with efficient memory management and low-level control. |
Libraries and frameworks | Lisp has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, particularly for artificial intelligence and symbolic computation. | Ada has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to more popular languages, but it has strong support for safety-critical and embedded systems. |
Community and support | Lisp has a dedicated community of enthusiasts and researchers, with active online forums and resources. | Ada has a smaller community compared to mainstream languages, but it has strong support from the Ada Resource Association and other organizations. |
Learning curve | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming concepts. | Ada has a moderate learning curve, with a focus on readability and maintainability. |
