How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from Lisp to Elm 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 Elm code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Lisp to Elm 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
Elm
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between Lisp and Elm
Characteristic | Lisp | Elm |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Lisp has a unique syntax based on parentheses and prefix notation. | Elm has a syntax similar to Haskell, with strong static typing and type inference. |
Paradigm | Lisp is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming and procedural programming. | Elm is a purely functional language that enforces immutability and encourages the use of functional programming principles. |
Typing | Lisp is dynamically typed, allowing for flexible and dynamic programming. | Elm is statically typed, providing strong type safety and compile-time guarantees. |
Performance | Lisp can have good performance, but it depends on the implementation and optimization techniques used. | Elm is designed for front-end web development and focuses on performance optimizations for user interfaces. |
Libraries and frameworks | Lisp has a wide range of libraries and frameworks available, but the ecosystem is not as extensive as some other languages. | Elm has a small but growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks specifically tailored for front-end web development. |
Community and support | Lisp has a dedicated community with a long history, but it may not have as much mainstream support as some other languages. | Elm has a supportive community and active development, with regular updates and improvements. |
Learning curve | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts, but it can be rewarding for those who invest the time to learn it. | Elm has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for developers familiar with functional programming concepts. |
