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

  1. Type or paste your Lisp code in the input box.
  2. Click the convert button.
  3. The resulting JavaScript code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lisp to JavaScript 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.

Key differences between Lisp and JavaScript

CharacteristicLispJavaScript
SyntaxLisp has a unique syntax that uses a lot of parentheses and prefix notation, which can be difficult for beginners to understand.JavaScript has a C-style syntax that is similar to other popular programming languages like Java and C++.
ParadigmLisp is a functional programming language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and meta-programming paradigms.JavaScript is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, object-oriented, and imperative programming paradigms.
TypingLisp is dynamically typed, which means that variable types are determined at runtime.JavaScript is also dynamically typed.
PerformanceLisp is generally considered to be slower than other programming languages due to its dynamic nature and garbage collection.JavaScript can be fast, but its performance can be affected by factors such as browser compatibility and the quality of the code.
Libraries and frameworksLisp has a smaller community than JavaScript, so there are fewer libraries and frameworks available.JavaScript has a large and active community, which has led to the development of many libraries and frameworks.
Community and supportLisp has a smaller community than JavaScript, so finding support and resources can be more difficult.JavaScript has a large and active community, which provides a wealth of resources and support.
Learning curveLisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm.JavaScript has a moderate learning curve, but can be easier for beginners to pick up due to its C-style syntax and multi-paradigm nature.
