This free online converter lets you convert code from Racket to Lisp in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your Racket code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Lisp code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from Racket to Lisp 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 Racket and Lisp
Characteristic | Racket | Lisp |
---|---|---|
Syntax | Racket has a more modern and expressive syntax compared to Lisp. | Lisp has a simpler and more minimalistic syntax compared to Racket. |
Paradigm | Racket supports multiple programming paradigms, including functional programming, imperative programming, and object-oriented programming. | Lisp is primarily a functional programming language, although it also supports imperative programming. |
Typing | Racket is a dynamically typed language, meaning that variable types are checked at runtime. | Lisp is dynamically typed, similar to Racket. |
Performance | Racket has a reputation for being slower in terms of performance compared to some other programming languages. | Lisp's performance can vary depending on the implementation, but it generally performs well. |
Libraries and frameworks | Racket has a rich set of libraries and frameworks available, including a powerful standard library and a package manager for easy installation of third-party libraries. | Lisp also has a variety of libraries and frameworks available, although the ecosystem may not be as extensive as Racket's. |
Community and support | Racket has a dedicated and active community, with good documentation and support available. | Lisp also has a supportive community, although it may not be as large or active as Racket's. |
Learning curve | Racket has a relatively gentle learning curve, especially for beginners, due to its clear and consistent syntax and extensive documentation. | Lisp has a steeper learning curve compared to Racket, mainly because of its minimalistic syntax and different programming paradigm. |
