How to use this tool?
This free online converter lets you convert code from SAS to Clojure in a click of a button. To use this converter, take the following steps -
- Type or paste your SAS code in the input box.
- Click the convert button.
- The resulting Clojure code from the conversion will be displayed in the output box.
Examples
The following are examples of code conversion from SAS to Clojure 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.
SAS
Clojure
Example 2 - Even or Odd
A well commented function to check if a number if odd or even.

Key differences between SAS and Clojure
Characteristic | SAS | Clojure |
---|---|---|
Syntax | SAS uses a data step and a proc step to process data. The data step is used to read, manipulate, and output data, while the proc step is used to perform statistical analyses and generate reports. | Clojure is a Lisp dialect that uses prefix notation and has a minimalist syntax. It is designed to be concise and expressive, with a focus on functional programming. |
Paradigm | SAS is primarily a procedural language, but it also supports some object-oriented programming concepts. | Clojure is a functional programming language that emphasizes immutability and encourages the use of higher-order functions and recursion. |
Typing | SAS is a statically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at compile time. | Clojure is a dynamically typed language, which means that variable types are determined at runtime. |
Performance | SAS is known for its high performance and is often used for large-scale data processing and statistical analysis. | Clojure is generally slower than languages like Java or C++, but it can still be used for performance-critical applications with the help of libraries like core.async and reducers. |
Libraries and frameworks | SAS has a large number of built-in statistical functions and procedures, as well as a variety of add-on modules for specialized tasks. | Clojure has a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, including popular ones like Ring for web development and Compojure for routing. |
Community and support | SAS has a large and active community of users and developers, with a variety of resources available for learning and troubleshooting. | Clojure has a smaller but dedicated community of users and developers, with a variety of resources available for learning and troubleshooting. |
Learning curve | SAS has a steep learning curve, with a complex syntax and a variety of specialized procedures and functions to master. | Clojure has a moderate learning curve, with a minimalist syntax and a focus on functional programming concepts that may be unfamiliar to developers coming from an imperative programming background. |
