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

Tcl
Key differences between Lisp and Tcl
Characteristic | Lisp | Tcl |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Lisp uses prefix notation and has a unique syntax based on parentheses and lists. | Tcl uses a simple and straightforward syntax with commands and arguments separated by spaces. |
Paradigm | Lisp is a multi-paradigm language that supports functional programming, procedural programming, and object-oriented programming. | Tcl is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. |
Typing | Lisp is dynamically typed, meaning that variable types are determined at runtime. | Tcl is dynamically typed, similar to Lisp. |
Performance | Lisp is known for its powerful macro system and runtime performance optimizations. | Tcl is generally considered to have good performance, but it may not be as optimized as Lisp in certain scenarios. |
Libraries and frameworks | Lisp has a rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including Common Lisp libraries and the Clojure ecosystem. | Tcl has a smaller ecosystem of libraries and frameworks compared to Lisp, but it still has a decent collection of extensions and packages. |
Community and support | Lisp has an active and dedicated community with various online resources, forums, and user groups. | Tcl has a smaller community compared to Lisp, but it still has active users and online resources available. |
Learning curve | Lisp has a steep learning curve due to its unique syntax and concepts like macros, but it can be rewarding for those who invest time in learning it. | Tcl has a relatively low learning curve, making it easy for beginners to get started quickly. |
