How to use this tool?

This free online converter lets you convert code from Lisp to Scala 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 Scala code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.

Examples

The following are examples of code conversion from Lisp to Scala 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 Lisp and Scala

CharacteristicLispScala
SyntaxLisp has a unique syntax that uses a lot of parentheses and prefix notation, which can be difficult for some programmers to learn and read.Scala has a syntax that is similar to Java, making it easier for Java programmers to learn and read.
ParadigmLisp is a functional programming language that supports procedural, object-oriented, and meta-programming paradigms.Scala is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional, object-oriented, and imperative programming paradigms.
TypingLisp is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime.Scala is statically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at compile time.
PerformanceLisp is generally slower than languages like C or Java, but it can be optimized for performance with the right techniques.Scala is generally faster than languages like Java due to its use of the JVM and its support for functional programming techniques.
Libraries and frameworksLisp has a smaller community than Scala, so it has fewer libraries and frameworks available.Scala has a large and active community, so it has many libraries and frameworks available.
Community and supportLisp has a smaller community than Scala, so it may be more difficult to find support and resources.Scala has a large and active community, so it is easy to find support and resources.
Learning curveLisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and functional programming paradigm.Scala has a moderate learning curve for Java programmers, but it may be more difficult for programmers coming from other languages.
